Dear Carol, Terri,Annette and Carol, I am deeply saddened to find out about my cousins passing. Not even sure how I found this web page. I am the grand daughter of Frank Charette and the daughter of his daughter Shirley Charette Porter. I guess our familys lost touch after we moved back to Mn.

Dear Carol and Family,
It was a sad day when I heard of your loss. I remember when we use to hang out together on friday nights and Dick told so many jokes, it was amazing how many he could store in his brain. I feel blessed to have been apart of both of your lives, it has been along time but we never forget good friends.

My heart is very heavy today to read about the loss of your husband and father. There are too many memories to even list here, growing up across the street from you. My prayers as well as my mom Mina and Dad Roys go out to you and your family in this time of loss.
