Charlotte was a very sweet and wonderful woman and mom to her family, even though she was not our real family, we loved as though she was. She will be missed by all whom loved and cared for her either be it her family or extended family and friends. Rest in Peace our extended mom and may you be with all who have gone before you and may your love and smiles be with all you have left behind and may we all meet again someday in Heaven.
Love,
Bambi and Steve

Mom, I am so happy that you are no longer in pain, and are once again doing all of the things that made you happiest.
I loved your laugh when something tickled your funny bone, and it was tickled often. Eating ice cream during a blizzard while wrapped up in blankets, listening for the music to get chocolate milkshakes from the ice cream truck... stretching out the pot of coffee so you weren't the one making a fresh pot, laughing every time I hear the song YMCA, teaching me how to pinch a penny til it screamed, stock up for emergencies, that laughing over troubles is easier than crying/being miserable, the list is endless.
You taught me how to plant and care for a garden, how to cook, and so much more. Without your teachings, I would have really struggled raising my kids. There was not a period in my life, that I was not grateful to you.
There are not enough words to thank you for all you have done for me and the whole family. I cannot remember a time when you were not there for all of us. You gave us strength when we needed it, comfort, and most of all your love.... RIP Mom.... I love you!!

Momma, we miss you so much, but understand you are in a much better place. Now you can rest with no more pain, no more confusion, no more worries. We love you!!!!
