My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Charlotte was my close neighbor here in Dallas, an art student in the advanced class, fellow artist in Cider Painters and outdoor painting sessions, and a dear and valued friend. She was a trusted advisor, a ray of sunshine. Charlotte left us a Legacy of Love and Laughter.
