It's been one year but you still bring back memories of the past. Missing you. ❤️❤️

To Pete and all the Herrera family, my condolences on your loss. I have nothing but fond memories of Charlie growing up with you on La Luz. I don't recall ever seeing Charlie without a smile whether he was greeting me at the door when I would come over or as we played basketball at Alta Vista or softball at Memorial Park. Charlie at the hot corner on Pete's Pros! Great times! He was just fun to be around and it was always apparent that he loved his older brother. Rest in Peace, Charlie. Thank you for your friendship.

When Lisa and I first started dating, I was an unemployed college kid. I would ask Charlie on a weekly basis if he would give me some money so I could take Lisa out to dinner. Every Friday payday (he worked in construction full-time), he would take his wallet out and hand me a $20 bill (his hard earned money) and say, “go have some fun.” This was the late 70s/early 80s, mind you. $20 was a lot of money. He would do this without hesitation. That is my fondest memory of him. Rest in Peace and bask in all of God’s glory, Chuck (as I fondly called him). 

We took a drive up to Hatch, NM to get some green chile and eat at Sparky’s, and he couldn’t resist this photo opportunity. I’m sure you can guess why!  He always made me laugh and I will miss his wildly inappropriate yet hilarious jokes, his thorough reading of every option on a restaurant menu, his carefully crafted burritos, and his desire for all kinds of sweet treats. He will be missed. 

Charlie you always were one of the cousins that had me chuckling throughout the years and will be sorely missed.  I’m so grateful for this luncheon we had to catch up about our lives and loves lost.   So grateful for you going with me to get dad’s car stuff handled and being the willing dancer at mom & dad’s 50th anniversary .  May you rest peacefully and get in a couple of good dances with my confirmation godmother and my momma.  Sending you lots of love  cuz ❤️

Our condolences to our Cousins...memories of all the years spent at Grandpa's house on Sundays. The football games were some of the most memorable to me since I was not the most athletic. 🤣🤣🤣😁😁 The board games and Toma Todo were the most fun times all of us Cousins had. We will surely miss Charlie...We love you, Charlie. ❤❤
Much love from Liz (chicken) and Lloyd and all of our kids and grandkids.
