My sympathies, Jack. I was so sad to hear of her passing, despite her many aches and pains and her being relieved from that, I am sorry to hear of her passing. Despite the hurdles we had, i always enjoyed coming to see your mom! I got there enough times, it felt natural to walk right in(but I still couldn't tell you the code from memory!) I am glad to have known her and spend the time I did with her.

We are deeply saddened to hear about Charlotte's passing. She was not only our co-worker but our friend as well. A wonderful, loving, compassionate woman that was so full of life. Always happy, always smiling, a great laugh, always a kind word, a friend to everyone...such a fun person! She will be dearly missed by friends in family but now again with Angela. Jack, our deepest condolences!

What a wonderful woman. I will miss hearing her laugh at my kidding around with you. I will miss our dinners out and her listening to whatever we had going on. Glad your smile is like hers so I can enjoy it. You have been a wonderful son. She loved you so much, Jack.
