Auntie Charlotte was a well known, loved & cherished woman. She always knew how to brighten anyones day! She could also make anyone laugh. She would call the house everyday and sometimes 2,3 or 4 times a day and tell my father and i jokes. She will be missed by family and friends. I will miss the phone calls and her sense of humor. Auntie we love and miss you. You will always have a place in my heart. Never will i forget the smiles and laughs you have brought to my face. I know you are watching over us now, from a better place. Rest in Peace Auntie. I Love You!

Charlotte was very special woman. When peolpe come into our life we don't see the reasons why they come into our lifes until they're gone Life's lessons are learned and hit us when we don't expect it. Charolette is gone and we will all remember her. She has left all of us with a part of her, and we won't forget what she has taught us. We will all remember all the times we spent with her,good ,bad funny and sad. Charlotte was LOVE, she showed it to all of us,even on a not so good day. Charlotte loved all of us, she didn't care how we looked on the outside,what color we were, she just loved us all. In her memory I think we need to make a change. Let's show love to everyone, just because that's what Charlotte would do. I know she is looking down at all us with her million dollar smile saying I MADE A DIFFERENCE.
So Sorry For Your Lost!

Charlotte was a lovely woman, whom I had the priviledge of meeting and getting to know since this past April. I wish I had the opportunity to know her longer as she had a lot to offer to this world and teach others. She rose and faced many challenges that others might cringe from and I always looked at her with admiration. I hope her family and loved ones will be able to find some solace in the fact that she now will be in peace and her suffering has ended.
With sincere sympathy, Pauline Gallagher

Charlotte has taken a small peice of my heart with her. I will deeply miss her laughter and playful spirit which will now live on in memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to her son and mother whom she deeply loved and we talked of often as well as her sisters and brothers and her family at Massasoit Residence. I will miss our weekend visits and phone calls.
