Joe, Cheryl, Jackie, Susan and Bobby.. my heart goes out to all of you during this time. Your mom was an instrumental part of my life and moms too. I thought the world of Charlotte and so often she helped Michelle and I as well as mom and I know what you're going thru and only time will heal. Remember all the good times and see her in your mind as she was, full of life and a beautiful smile. She cared deeply for people and she stayed focus on being a great wife and mother. I wish i would have went to see her and regretfully i didn't. I just couldn't handle it because my hurt and loss of mom are still fresh. If you guys need anything please call me or email me. My husband and I live in Horn Lake just off Desoto Rd. I am trying to reach Michelle now but she's in class ( nursing school) i'm sure she will be calling you Cheryl and Joe. God Bless you all right now and comfort you.
