Charles Vance Nowell Jr.

I have so many wonderful memories of my dear cousin "Buddy", I can't choose just one. He was always one of the sweetest, kindest most loving people I have ever known. I will love and miss him forever. I send my love and prayers to Kozy and family.

I miss you so much Grampy. I miss the jokes you would make, and your hugs, and the way you were always so happy to see me and my family. My family and I always feel so happy and comfortable at your house. I'm sure everyone does, because that's how you and Grammy want everyone to feel. Thank you. You always remembered everyones birthdays and anniversarys. I try to do the same because of your example. I saw how special you made everyone feel. When I had the opportunity to go with you anywhere, I loved that you would make everyone we would meet laugh. I loved it when you made Grammy laugh, that was the best. I am so proud that you are my grandpa. I loved how much you love Grammy. My heart has a hole in it. I won't get to see you for all the special events anymore, and I don't know what am I going to do. You are a great man, and I believe your heart was made of gold. I miss you so much.

My sweet, caring brother Buddy, I miss you so much. You were the best brother, always thinking of everyone before yourself. God has a special man who earned his wings for sure. I'm so glad I got to visit you last April. I will keep in touch with Kozy and all the kids. Love you.

Daddy, I love you. There is nothing you didnt help me learn. There was never a way to pay you back. But, I know how much you loved me and my brothers and our children. I know what you sacrificed and I know about your pain and I know about the limitations you pushed through. I saw, every day how you spoke through the breathlessness, I watched how you joined in and delighted in your family's presence. I saw how you adored my mother. I dont know what I'm going to do without you. I dont know how to keep moving forward. But I'll do what you did. I'm proud to be your daughter.

Pa, I love you and I miss you. I don't know how to be in a world without you. But I promise to do my best and to always try to make you proud. I know you were proud of all of us kids. You were the best father anyone could hope for. Ma loves you so much. We will do our best to help her carry on. For now, the waves of sadness keep coming...

To the family of sweet Charlie Nowell. My sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. I was blessed to know Charlie as a parishioner at St Martin de Porres in Taylorsville for many years. He was such a delight, he and his beautiful wife. I adore them both. They were the most kindest and loving to me and my family. We hugged every Sunday and my day was that much more happier and peaceful with each greeting. God bless his family with comfort and peace knowing he is in good hands. He will be greatly missed. Goodbye dear Charlie, and thank you! Mary Tolbert, and family.
