Charlie,
I am very sad to hear this news. I know G-d needed him home for a reason but I pray he will guide, watch over and help you and your family through this.

Charlie, my heart is broken for you. 23 years ago today, my brother died suddenly and violently at the age of 24. Someone sent my parents the following, and it has brought us all great comfort. I pray that it will do so for you as well.

- He Was So Young – by Marjorie Holmes, from “Who Are My Children?"
He was so young, God.
So young and strong and filled with promise. So vital, so radiant, giving so much joy wherever he went.
He was so brilliant. On this one boy you lavished so many talents that could have enriched your world. He had already received so many honors, and there were so many honors to come.
Why, then? In our agony, we ask. Why him?
Why not someone less gifted? Someone less good? Some hop-head, rioter, thief, brute, hood?
Yet we know, even as we demand what seems to us a rational answer, that we are only intensifying our grief. Plunging deeper into the blind and witless place where all hope is gone. A dark lost place where our own gifts will be blunted and ruin replace the goodness he brought and wished for us.
Instead, let us thank you for the marvel that this boy was. That we can say good-bye to him without shame or regret, rejoicing in the blessed years he was given to us. Knowing that his bright young life, his many gifts, have not truly been stilled or wasted, only lifted to a higher level where the rest of us can’t follow yet.
Separation? Yes. Loss? Never.
For his spirit will be with us always. And when we meet him again we will be even more proud.
Thank you for this answer, God.

Deepest Sympathies
Dear Charlie,
This past month marked the 20th anniversary of my brother's sudden passing. His passing was also unexpected, a fluke, and almost impossible for the coroner to explain.
I hold you and your family in my prayers. May your faith be a comfort. The Tubenet community embraces you and your family, as you can see.
With deepest sympathy,
Mitch

Hi Charlie,
It's very sad to hear this news. It's really tough when you lose a child... unimaginable! You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Charlie,
The flesh life is short and difficult. Although your son may be in the grave now, he will be resurected as if no time has gone by at all. If everything works out with the Father, you will be seeing him soon in God's kingdom here on earth.
My thoughts and prayers are with you buddy. Stay strong in the Word.
