I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget how kind your Mother was to me on the school bus years ago. This may not seem like much, but as a little girl and with some other bullies on the bus, her kindness meant the world to me.

A fond farewell to a dear lady who was a kind neighbor, afellow church member, a fun Bible school teacher and a dear fellow February birthday club member. I have so many fond memories of Charlotte. I’m so thankful for her giving me my childhood best friend Janis. She was truly an angel on earth so I know heaven is rejoicing and receiving her with open arms. Rest in peace sweet lady. May God send peace and comfort to your entire family.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. Charlotte was one awesome lady, and the best neighbor she had a heart of gold. She never knew stranger. She will be missed by many who loved her greatly.
Heaven gained the best as Jesus needed someone to help him with the flowers in his garden.
