I’ve had to rewrite this post so many times because no set of words truly encapsulates the joy you brought to this world. In a world full of hate, Char, you were my light. You had the ability to turn my worst day into my best day, unlike anyone I have ever met. What I truly want to know is, how did I get so lucky with you? How did I get such a kick-ass best friend? Looking back at all of our memories together, I smile, I laugh, I cry, and I feel this overwhelming emotion that is too deep to even begin explaining. These memories are what I will hold onto for the rest of my life and will be what I show people years later when they ask “who were your high school friends?”. I will continue to cherish our beautiful friendship and want to let you know that I loved you beyond measure. Visiting your house yesterday, and hugging your family, I felt your presence. You wrapped me in this blanket of comfort that let me know you were at peace. Even in your last moments with us you still were the Char we all knew and loved. You cracked jokes that made the whole room burst out with laughter and all I could think was “that’s my girl”. I have no doubt in my mind that you will be watching over me for the rest of my lifetime. You were my angel on this earth and know you will continue to be my angel in heaven. I am easily the luckiest girl in the world to have known you. To my fellow Scorpio, birthday twin, hair braider, pasta loving, county music singing, Spanish speaking, spunky, fun, smart, brave, strong, amazing, and most importantly beautiful, best friend, I will miss you so damn much and I will love you forever, no matter what. Rest in utterly peace, Char Char Until we meet again🕊️🤍
