I will always remember Charles as a brightest star on earth. His sense of humour was also quite good. He also was a happy chap. My very sincere apologies to the family.
God will look after him. As he was an angel on earth.

I am very sad to hear of the passing of Charles. It was a pleasure to provide relief care for Charles and Moreen as they were always very grateful. My thoughts are with Moreen, Anita, Brodie and the family.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
