    Oh my God I miss you Charlie, to the family I didn't believe he was passed but now that I see this I know it is I've been missing so much I'm crying right now I miss Mom too and all my family I pray to God I get to see you soon it's a reality check that he's passed, after being locked up for 13 years. I miss him so bad (I'm sobbing now!), please forgive me I didn't make it out in time for them to see me!
