Not sure what to say?

Char greeted me when I moved into the neighborhood in 1999.Always upbeat,she knew how to get things done around here in her 9 years on the Board.I missed the service and was informed the next week of here passing.I'll miss her now but she was usually off to Florida.
It'll be in the spring for sure....
she was full of life ,full of friends ....and the rest just really doesn't matter.Sorry for your grief...jim

Char was a wonderful lady to work with. She was very professional, honest, generous and loving person. I know she will be missed by all that knew her.

Although not related, my brother and I always knew Charlotte as Aunt Char. She worked with my mother, Mary-Ethel Clement, at Gerlinger's when we were quite young. She was always a gracious host and she and my mother have remained friends for many years. I last visited with Aunt Char in 2003 during a visit to Toledo. What a shock to loose such a wonderful lady. She will be missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Char at Gerlinger's twenty two plus years ago. We have been the best of friends all these years. God is getting a truly great lady. My heart and sympathy goes to all her family.

Aunt Char was always a gracious soul who put others above herself, who was always there for anyone at any time, and was just a textbook example of how a human being should be. She was entertaining and a delight to be around. She was always a great advisor and confidant and has helped many people through tough decisions. she was an asset to our family, her friends, and to people who would never know she existed, as was her late husband.

In simply words,
She was loving, caring,...

It was our pleasure to meet Char at Jeff and Regan's wedding. We had hoped to spend much more time with such a lovely lady. Deepest sympathies to friends and family.

Dear Family,

I am so very sorry for you. Char was a very Special Lady and will be missed. I enjoyed working with her in Dendarah Court No. 10, L.O.S.N.A. and Orphan Annies. Of all the memories we gathered, one our favorites was working on the Grand Council Session Committee back in 1991 and 1992. Char and Foster (a wonderful Noble) were just a delight to work with.

May fond memories bring you comfort and peace in this unexpected time of sadness.

In Deepest...
