Dear Tommy, Bobby and David,
We are deeply saddened by the news of dear Charlotte's passing. She was very beautiful, sweet and a loving lady and very proud of her three sons and their beautiful families. Our whole family loved her very much. Now she is with her beloved Charles. May her soul rest in peace and May God give all of you strength to bear this huge loss. We will miss her a lot.

Dear Elkins family,
I was so saddened to hear about Ms Charlotte's passing. I treasure all the time I was able to spend with her. I loved hearing her stories about "those 3 sons", and could definitely relate to her. We shared many laughs and a little "cry time" together. She was so sweet and sympathetic to me when my mother passed away.

My condolences and prayers for comfort are with all of you. God is great, as Ms Charlotte is now with her beloved Charles.
