Charles Cerdena Obituary

Today was the last time I saw you, a year ago. We hugged in the driveway and I told you, "I love you!" Those were the last words I said to you. When I woke wednesday 9/23/09 I planned to stop and see you on my way home from work. On my way I got the call you had gone to be with the Lord. This year has been tough. I love you & I miss you so very much Charlie. My only consolation is knowing that I will see you again. Everday that your missed is one day closer to being with you again. There's so much I wish I could share with you, so much you have missed that I can't wait to tell you about. I will see you when I get home, until then, I love you & I miss you!

Hi Sweet Heart
Its been almost a year. I will NEVER stop missing you. I thank God I was the first one to hold you, and the last one to hold you. Charlie, Momma loves you so much, I would not want you back to suffer the way you did. The tears seem they will never stop. So Momma will say see you in the morning my baby boy

I never wrote you on this and i'm sorry. I really miss you. Sometimes I don't know how i'm supposed to live without you. I wish you could have been here to see my graduation, you would have been so proud. It's getting closer to the day when we lost you and I can't stop thinking about you. I hope you knew how much I loved you and still do. I'm sorry for all the times I took you for granted. I'm not mad at you. I just miss you and would give anything just to have one more hug and hear you call me ugly.

Love,
Jordy

P.S. Thank for being the dad I never had.

Nine months ago today my life changed FOREVER! Charlie, I missed so much of your life that I should've been there for. I only had a year with you and took that time for granted, I'm sorry. I miss you, your smile, your laughter, your humor, & just knowing you were there. Thank you for loving me, no matter what. I hope your at peace, no more pain, no more hurt, no more tears, just rest & happiness my dear big brother...I still miss you!

Sincere condolences to your entire family. Love lives in our hearts forever.....

Today. . I celebrate You and Your life! Today God gave you life and put you here for a purpose. . and one was to be my big brother, to teach me, protect me, and love me. I am so grateful for the years He gave to me with you! I am so grateful that He gave you to me for the time He did- that you are my big brother! You were always there for me. . taught me to laugh, smile, to be strong, and that it is ok to cry too. Thank you for being my brother! And I thank Him for the precious years, for giving me YOU! I Love You and Miss You!

I miss you so very much! I have tried to reason and I have tried to understand. . . there just is no reasoning nor any understanding. . nothing that takes the ache out of my heart for you. I love you.. if only I had just one more moment to tell you, to show you. I'm sorry I worried you so much. . I never meant to but know somehow that you baby sister is okay except for being without you. "There is a time for everything.. a time to be born and a time to die.. a time to cry and a time to laugh, a time to grieve and a time to dance. ." I know one thing our mama taught us right and "God is the same yesterday, today, and forever" His word is true. . So, my time to laugh and my time to dance will come again. . when I see you again face to face. I know you're with Him and He is with me and in the morning we will meet again! Until that time my heartaches for home, heaven, and you! I love you and I will see you in the morning. With All of my Love

i love you...i miss you!

To Rose, Chaz, and Lexi,and to the rest of the Cerdena Family,

Words can't even express how deeply sympathetic I am for your loss. Charlie was a great man and a Great Father. Growing up with all of you made it as feel as you guys were my seconded family, knowing I could go to you guys if I ever needed anything. Just know I will always be here to repay the favor, I will always be there for you guys whenever you need me, I'm just a phone call away. Keep strong and always remember the greatest times you had with him.

My love to all of you,

Deepest sympathy for your family. I was 13 years old and babysat little Charlie, I begged Marg Nodle to let me hold him and take care of him for just an hour each week. I got my wish and he was the cutest little guy. My prayers go out to your family. God Bless you through this though time, embrace each other. Love Christy Campbell

I will miss your easy laugh and generous spirit, Charlie. Rest in peace. My heart aches for Rose, Alexis and Chaz. Charlie never missed an opportunity to brag about his family. He loved you all so much. My family understands the pain you feel and will keep you close in thought and prayer. With a heavy heart, I miss my friend.

Loosing someone so senselessly and unexpectedly, we all feel the shock. It is never easy for those left behind. It may help to know how many people shore your sorrow. Our prayers go out to Rose and all of Charlie's family.

My thoughts and prayers for Rose and the kids. I miss my brother.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Charlie's family.

Good by Charlie, we miss you buddy.

We love you and miss you son.
