...spent 4,860 days on the planet; 4,824 of them with us; a few of them with some of you.

Today was the last one.

Sorry to hear it, Cliff. Our condolences to you and Terri.

Glad to have met the big affable lug. Glad to have defended him from the cat. Glad he stayed here for a while, and glad he stayed with you a lot longer. :( :( :(

Feel like I lost a member of my own family.
I'm so sorry Cliff and Terri.
My comfort comes from knowing how much he was loved, how well a life he lived...

Your family came into my family when my daughter was very young. You were "Cwiff, Terwi and Charlwie". I am beyond grateful he came for a couple visits. We will never forget him.
Not long and your emptiness will be filled with thankfulness you had him in your life.
Goodbye Charlie, thank you for loving my human friend the way you did.

Greg / Kelly.

Thank you both for the kind thoughts and reminders of good memories.

Charlie always liked meeting new people, and he was very comfortable in both your homes.

We are beyond grateful that he came to stay with us for as long as he did.
;)

I had his picture on my screen and Kate walked up...
She said "Charlie!"
I said do you remember him? She said "oh yeah, I have an ornament of him".
She asked what happened to him and I told her he passed away yesterday.
Her eyes welled up, which in turn broke me. We had a good happy tearful moment.
She said she hopes Cliff and Terri would get another Charlie.

So sorry to hear it, Cliff. My condolences to you and Teri.
I knew that the day would come, but still - it hits me big time..... :(

Charlie was a true friend - a true friend indeed!!!
Full of sincere love, honesty and utmost respect.
I feel proud, having chance to meet him in person, and sharing some time with him...
I remember him enjoying our drumming session, Cliff... And I know his voice is on the recording - in perfect timing... :)

Charlie will always be a synonym for "great bond", for me...
Good bye Charlie - you truly were amazing!!!

I don't know how else to say it friends, but I'm truly in mourning.
Heartbroken.
