Beautiful baby Charlie died after a magnificent year on earth with his parents, family and friends.
Charlie allowed us to feel the greatest love and now the greatest heartache we will ever know. The brilliance in Charlie's eyes reminds us that even a disease-weakened body can radiate joy and happiness. Charlie's life was filled with laughter and learning: The fascination of a ceiling fan; the activity of two rambunctious puppies, books and bells, loving kisses on his tummy; the calm rocking of a porch swing. Charlie taught us to cherish every moment. Charlie, we miss you. It doesn't seem right. We'll never have you to love and kiss goodnight. Charlie, we wish you had stayed.Charlie is survived by Merrie Lee Peterson and Edward Chase Peterson, mother and father, loving grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends in Utah and in the Park City wards.
