My grateful thanks to Charlotte for being the sweetest lady I have known. I will miss the stories of the gardens and the recipes for the cookies we used to make together. I am not sure how to send a postcard to heaven but the next time I travel someplace nice, I will look up in the sky and address my love to her as she will be watching.
