I will always remember Charlie's wonderful smile, and I know you will always have beautiful memories of him in your heart. He was a special little guy who will be remembered by many. God bless you all.

We feel we knew Charley ,even though we never met, may he rest in peace. He touched many people here as we prayed for him, from Florida.
Our sympathy to you and your Family

Posted by a good friend of Charley on August 30, 2007 at her blog:
Tian-Tian, we'll always be thinking about you. This morning was tough and painful, and you finally left us this afternoon. Rest in peace with a smile now. Remember that the flashlight and drawing I sent you are meant to chase away your fears of the dark. I told you, that where there is darkness, there will always be a light. We miss you. I miss you. A lot. May whoever's up there take sympathy on a little eight-year-old boy. If there really is reincarnation, I hope he comes back as a normal, healthy boy without cancer or any other illness - and grow up to live a full, happy life. That, or stay in heaven where there will be no pain and suffering anymore.

这几天我一直在想

如果当初我没有去儿研所实习的话

田田就无法得到他一辈子最想得到的亲情了

我想上帝接他回家 是因为他知道田田受到病魔的打击太大

多过田田的力量能受的

上帝的选择是我们对我们最好的 也许我们现在还体会不到

也许上帝会给你们更好的礼物

因为你们已做到很多人都做不到的事

他也知道你们都经历了怎么样的痛

这是远在中国的我无法切身体会的

相信耶稣一定早就把你们拥入怀里

上帝的作为是大的

我们要一辈子称颂他 阿们

I know it is hard time for you and your family. Take care of your family and yourself . If there are something I can do for you, just let me know.

From Stan, Ellen, Innia & Matthew Macasieb
So sad to hear about Charley. In the short time he had been around he left quite an impact on all of us. Also, your strength, devotion, and faith has been extraordinary. Even so, we realize that you, too, are human and are in need of support right now. If there's anything we can do to help you two in the days and weeks ahead, let us know.

From Barry Peskin (Uncle Barry)
You have been an inspiration to me as I have told you before. God's love shown through you into all you did.I believe that God is love and love is God. Charley was so fortunate to have such loving devoted parents. May you find some peace and solace knowing that Charlie is in a better place with the Lord. You will be in my prayers, with love.

From James and Una Choo
We praise God for all that Charley has given us - love, amazing friendships, a stronger appreciation for all we have. We all will miss Charley.

From Caroline Rider
I am so sorry for your terrible loss. I only met your Charley once at the Jimmy Fund Clinic when he and my son, also named Charlie, had adjacent beds in the infusion room.

Your son was a beautiful little boy who I am sure brought much joy into your life. Please accept my deepest condolences and know that you and your family are in the thoughts and prayers of my family. We will keep Charley in our hearts.

From Timothy FP Chen
I'm sorry to hear Charley passed away and rested in the Lord Christ Jesus. I knew it was great loss to you. But your love and rescue to him was remembered by him and everyone concerning him and God. Although his physical body was gone but his soul and spirit still live with God. The Lord needs a lovely boy accompany with Him. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Hence he was released from sick and pain to gain peace and life. You are released from a lot of labor and anxiety to enjoy the Lord's mercy and love.

From Emily Sung

聽聞田田的消息，甚為遺憾與難過。田田有這麼愛他的父母，卻無緣長久相處。相信他在天國，一定會感念有這麼好的父母。您們夫妻倆這麼有愛心的付出 真是令人感佩。還請節哀！

From Yung-chi and Elaine Cheng
We are saddened to learn of Charley's passing. He was such a wonderful and courageous spirit to so many people especially you the loving parents. You demonstrated to him what love and sacrifices are. His life illustrated hope, tenacity, and compassion.

As we know Charley is now at a better place free of suffering. We are sure he will be looking after you the family and the larger family of faith from heaven above.

We will not be able to attend his services. But this litter boy Tian Tian already touched so many lives during his short journey on earth.
