Charlotte was my most dearest and deepest friend. I felt as close to her as if we were blood. I am so glad to have been one of those who spent the last month every day with her. We had a special bond and I am going to miss her so much. We had so many memories together. I will think of her and love and miss her every day. She is with the Angels she loved so much.

I only knew Charlotte for two years and olny visited her two times. In those two visits I got to know her pretty good. She was a very kind and loving person. I actually felt like part of the family because of the special kindness she showed me. I will miss her very much and I was blessed to have known her. She is now with God and the Angles in Heaven. I Love You, Charlotte.

Dearest Charlotte,

You are a wonderful, caring and loving person, how can we go on without you? Please continue to watch over us, touch our hearts, wipe away our tears and help us keep your kind deeds in our thoughts. For you, bless you for all your time and many, many efforts you gave to others, you were an angel on earth and you are angel in heaven. Until we meet again my friend, we will forever love and miss you dearly.

Thank you everyone that has responded to this an was able to attend the furneral.

Thank god that conditions were as such that I was able to stay home with her for the last 2 months. That dosen't make it hurt any less though. She meant the world to me and I know that she touched everyone that she knew deep down in their heart.

That was a special god given gift.

I laid her to rest yesterday and that was probably the hardest thing to do.

Charlotte is now resting at the Desert Hills Memorial Park 6500 E. Bell Rd. Scottsdale, Az.

Thank you everyone for being a part of her life.

Until we are together again.

My Aunt, my friend, I will miss you soooo much. Remember when I said who will I talk to when you leave? I cried and you hugged me and said I can still talk to you just pray and you will hear me. (I will be talking to you often.) I know that you are safe because you are with Aunt Rosie, Uncle Danny, and Grandma. Although I will miss you dearly, this is not goodbye, for I too will be reunited with all of you. I LOVE YOU and I'LL MISS YOU until we meet again.

Your Niece

TO ALL THE FAMILY- CHARLOTTE WAS ALWAYS LOVED BY EVERYONE.THE THING I REMEMBER THE MOST ABOUT HER IS HER SMILE AND LAUGH.SHE ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND AT HOME.IT'S BEEN ALONG TIME SINCE I'VE SEEN CHARLOTTE BUT SHE'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY MEMORIES AND IN MY HEART. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

TO ALL THAT LOVED CHAROLLET SO MUCH,



CHAROLLET WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON TO SO MANY PEOPLE. THERE WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT HER THAT MADE PEOPLE SMILE AND LAUGH EVEN IN THEIR DARKEST MOMENTS. SHE JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO BE AS HAPPY AS SHE WAS. I'M SURE I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW BECAUSE ANYONE THAT KNEW HER KNEW THIS.

AT TIMES WE WOULD SPEND HOURS ON THE PHONE TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, BUT I ALWAYS FELT SO HAPPY FOR HOURS AFTER THEM CALLS.

JUST A MONTH AGO WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON WITH HER "SHE CALLED ME DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WANTING TO KNOW IF I WAS OKAY"! SHE WAS ALWAYS CONCERNED FOR OTHERS.

I BELIEVE THAT THE LOVE SHE FELT FOR YOU WAS SO STRONG THAT IT WILL FOREVER BE WITH YOU.

SHE WAS AN ANGEL, NOW SHE'S EVEN A BIGGER ONE. ONE THAT CAN SPREAD HER CHEER EVEN FARTHER THAN BEFORE. AN ANGEL THAT LEFT A TREMENDOUS HOLE IN SO MANY PEOPLES LIVES HERE ON EARTH AND WILL FOREVER BE MISSED.

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU.

WITH MY DEEPEST SMYPATHY AND LOVE
