Charles and I were first cousins born one month apart; our moms were sisters. Our childhoods and all the way through high school we were best buddies. We were both named after our granddad, Charlie Miller. My middle name is Charlene; cand he’s obviously Charles. We played marbles, baseball, hurdled benches in the park, double dated, and had many mutual lifelong friends. He was very intelligent, reserved, and a true child of God. Our loss was Heaven’s gain. I especially loved to hear him speak about his wife, daughter, and grandchildren. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this sad time. Love and hugs from Cousin Katie.
