You were...
the knot at the end of my rope.
You kept me hanging on,
and always gave me hope.
You are...
my smile through the tears.
You give me faith,
to stay through the years.
You were...
the candle in my window.
You welcomed me home,
when life laid me low.
You are...
the best friend I've ever had.
Whenever you held me,
life wasn't so bad...(or sad).

I knew Charlie as Chrobe. For those who don't know, that was his gamer tag. CHarles RObert BEnder. I thought that was awesome, I'm into names.
Fate brought Charlie and Phyris into my life. I am a gamer by nature, but I was living my life as responsibly as I could and trying to make money. I stumbled onto a game that I didn't realize was a game. In trying to make money on forums, I found and started playing this game as a distraction. Then Charlie and Phyris found me in the game and we became guildmates. Now we are family.
They have been with me through job changes, moving, getting my MBA, not one, but 2 miracle children, a divorce and new relationship and another wonderful child. All without ever meeting in person.
I was talking to my ex-wife about Charlie's passing and she said that she first was disappointed that we never got a chance to meet. Then she thought about it and changed her mind. She said that because we never met in real life, we had to work that much harder to really know each other and knew each other on a much deeper level. I can't agree more.
I can't wait until next year when I plan a road trip to finally meet Phyris, but in many ways, I am glad that I never did get to meet Charlie, especially this last year.
I can remember his wise words in game and in life. I can remember, just through game chat, Teamspeak, and talks on the phone just how much he loved Phyris. He was more than a guild leader to me. He was a mentor, a father, a brother, a friend. An ornry cuss who was fun to pi$$ off at times, but that was Charlie.
Charlie has forever impacted my life and by extension, the lives of all those around me. I am a better person for knowing him.
I love you and miss you Chrobe. Rest well, my friend.

Phyris, I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure you will miss him, as other family members will. I would love to talk with you, guess you know who I am. I live in Lamar now. I have thought about you often. I am glad I checked out the obituaries, and recognized who you are. Our prayers are with you and your family. Love you, Linda

Yesterday I went to Norma's house to tell her about Charlie's passing and she had clipped this short poem out of an advertisement earlier that day... I would like to share it with everyone here, because for me it does sum up the way I feel about Charlie and I am so Thankful for the 10 wonderful years we were allowed to have together!
"Those we love don't go away,
they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
still loved, still missed, and very dear."

Our loving God has made provisions to remove suffering and death from us.Our love ones will come to life; (John 5:28,29;11:25) May the hope from the Scripture bring you comfort and strength to endure the days ahead.

I can't believe your gone, out of blue, gone. I'm gonna miss our Sunday talks, even if you did wake me up. You were an awesome brother, father, uncle, husband, and friend! Your sense of humor, wittiness, and comeback lines will be deeply missed. You gave all you had, LOVE, too most that was all they needed. You will be deeply missed, what I would give to hear you one more time! I love you Charlie. Your sister, Lorri.
