Condolence: Mr. Charlie/Dad was special to me because, among other things, he showed me how love transcends bloodlines! He would refer to me as his boy and would pull me to the side and give me good fatherly advice. He was very happy about my relationship with Salena and treated me as part of his family. I saw him as a loving, kind father figure and enjoyed spending time with him. I regret that he left us too soon but know and take comfort in knowing that him being absent from his body/here means that he's one with and in the presence of God. My heartfelt condolences goes out to all his family, friends, and others whose lives were touched by him. Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted. BLESSINGS! I love you and miss you Dad! Love Rodney Matthews
