Our greatest gratitude for knowing and having such a wonderful lady as a neighbor, friend, and adopted "Aunt"!

The most cutest memories of coming into the house and seeing Char and Aunt Marian sitting at the kitchen table or island eating and talking.

One of her last puzzles I would never attempt even for $1,000 (every piece of the 3-D puzzle looked the same)!

One classy lady!

Love,
Glynis, Mona, Jorin, & Liam
