You have my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother Charlotte. She was a wonderful wife & mother and she will be sorely missed. I am the daughter of Betty and Danny Floyd here in Roanoke and the last time I got to see your mom was at Helen's funeral. She drove all the way to Roanoke by herself to attend her funeral. A very special lady indeed. You and your family are in my prayers. Kim (Floyd) Shively

Teresa, Mark & Angie.....I'm so sorry for your loss. Charlotte has always been such a wonderful, loving gal. Unfortunately, the last time I saw her was at Bobby's funeral and I can't remember the last time I have seen you all...I'm sure we all wouldn't recognize one another ---Just so you'll know - I'm Dickie's daughter, Karen - I remember when we were kids coming over to your place on Grandin Road and Charlotte was always so welcoming and treated Richie & I like her own kids ...and of course - all the family reunions and gatherings at Grandma Browns. You may remember we came down to spend time with you in Norfolk when we were just kids and it was so hot we had to leave in the middle of the night to escape the day heat (no air conditioning in cars back then!). You all are in my prayers - she will be sadly missed. Blessings and hugs to you all. If you are ever in Roanoke, please get in touch!

To Charlotte's Family,
I had not had the priviledge of seeing Charlotte in quite a few years and wish that I had. I always loved her upbeat spirit and her fun-loving ways. My family grew up in the same neighborhood as the Leonard's and spent many hours together. My dad and Clara were cousins on the St.Clair side of the family so when they were all at Bob & Ethel's house during the summer we would usually try to get down there too. I was closer to Iris in age so I didn't get to hang around with the "older" ones so much but Charlotte was always a favorite! I know she was very proud of her family and always ready to share stories about you guys. I am so sorry to hear of her passing at such a young age and I will remember you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Gods Blessing's On You All,
Valerie Wheeler Westmoreland

Teresa, Angie, Mark & Family - Like so many others, I am sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Please know how much I will miss and remember her; especially our long telephone conversations. She always kept me straight. "Charlie Brown" was one of my favorite people. She was there for me when I needed her. I will truly miss her.
