I am so sorry to learn of Charlotte's death. She was my mentor and good friend when I returned to teaching at Cisqua. Charlotte was a beloved, talented teacher and colleague, always positive, and a joy to work with. Fortunately I have many wonderful memories, as do the former students and parents I occasionally still meet in our local community. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, John.

Dear John and family,
I was sorry to read of Charlotte's death and wish to express my deepest sympathy. My late wife, Rita, had great respect for Charlotte during their years working on Conval School District business and enjoyed their relationship. I know the loss of a spouse and mother is very difficult, but memories of happy times shared over the years is a reliable source of comfort and solace - - I hope you find peace there.

Charlotte was such fun to work with during our many years together at Cisqua. She was a wonderful example of an outstanding First Grade teacher. I'm sure she has left fond memories with the many students she inspired, taught and laughed with.
