Charlotte Freshwaters was so very nice to me from the time I first met her. She was never judgmental that I saw and she was also concerned and interested in what I had to say. Its hard to find folks like that these days. She had such a rough last few months with various surgeries and I commend her family for taking such good and loving care of her in her last weeks and days and hours. I am sure she is in a better place now where there is no pain and no pills but only love and warmth and peace.

To All Charlotte's Children:



All of you kids may not know me but most of you do. I just want to say I thought your Mom was a very gracious person and had a million dollar smile. You all have my symphaties!
