My condolences to the family of Charles Jefferson, I was very sorry to here of his passing, RIP Charles your classmate of 1983 Columbus East High School. God Bless!
I didn’t know that I’d have to say goodbye to you so fast I’m so numb, I can’t feel anymore. Prayin’ you’d just walk back through that door and tell me that I was only dreamin. You’re not really gone as long as I believe. Your love lives on inside of me, and I will hold on tight . It’s not my place to question, only God knows why. You always made my troubles feel so small and you were always there to catch me when I’d fall. In a world where heroes come and go well God just took the only one I know . So I’ll hold you as close as I can. Longing for the day, when I see your face again
