I am so sorry for the loss of Charlotte. Although I did not see her very often after graduation, I still thought of her as a good friend. We had wonderful times together in our little gang and I remember she had the voice of an angel. My condolences to her family and friends.

Dear Ken and Lori and Families, I'm so sorry for your lose, I know there are no words to take away your pain. Please find comfort in knowing that char is singing with the ANGELS now, what a wonderful voice addition they have. I loved talking with her, she always had an open ear and really made you feel loved. May the Lord keep all of you close to his heart and in the palm of his hand through all the heavy hearted days ahead.

I can recall her photograph from the Munhisko, our high school year book. She was such a pretty girl and I am sure a lovely woman. I offer my deepest condolences.
