Do I dare say, she was my favorite aunt. It may have been multiple peanut butter sandwiches at Dimock, or her input when my mother (her sister) had advice, or memories at schooly lake. Oh, her children and husband were great too.

Dear Carol,Karen,& David & Families,
We were so sorry to read of the passing of your dear Mother, Charlotte. She was a wonderful lady and a friend to so many. Our memories of her will be treasured always. Dalton has lost so many of the people, the real ones that made our community the great place that it was to grow up in during life in the fifities and sixties. Both your Mother and Dad were such a part of the little town both in business, school teacher, and our Methodist Church. I will always remember her as my teacher in second grade when she replaced Gertude Sherwood due to illness. Today after reading about Charlotte's passing I was remembering my late dear Mother, Gladys relating the story of Charlotte raising the window and wishing her the best when they were on their way to the hospital to receive me in birth and Charlotte exclaimed, "It won't be long and my turn is next to go", she was awaiting the birth of David. Many fond memories Mother related to me concerning her friendship with her dear neighbor and friend are in my mind and thoughts today. Always cherish the memories of your Mother and Dad because now that our parents are with the Lord these precious thoughts help us to keep them close and always in our hearts. My brother Walter and my husband Bill and I send our sincere sympathy to you all. Now our dear Charlotte is home with the Lord and reunited with her dear Neal.Stay in touch dear friends.
