Charlotte was a lovely, dignified lady and all who encountered her felt her love for the Lord and her devotion to her family. She was a dedicated homemaker, an avid reader and a lifelong learner.

To all the Caulder clan -
It's been a great honor knowing all of you, and Charlotte was always a key part of many years of wonderful experiences. We'll all miss her smile, her laugh, her quiet dignity and genuine love for her family and her Lord. As sad as this parting is, we know it's only temporary and that she's safe in the arms of the One she loved above all else. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered the heart of man the things God hath prepared for those that love Him." None of our eyes have seen these things, but hers now have. And some day, soon, those of us that know her Lord will join her in the Kingdom of God, never more to be parted and free from all sadness, sin, disease and limitation. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus. God's richest blessings on all of you as we finish this dress rehearsal and prepare for real life - life at His side, life as we've never known it.

My Aunt Charlotte always lit up a room with her sweet smile and I always knew she was sincere. Wow, what a beautiful, dynamic legacy she leaves, well worth imitating.
Uncle Shelley, Shelley Jr. & Susan: I'm asking the Great Comforter to wrap each of you in His arms and hold you and carry you through this dark valley. My love, Harriette

Shelley, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I remember Charlotte fondly, how sweet, beautiful and charming she was when she visited Mom Bell when I was a young girl. She was brave, thoughtful and concerned about others during this past year. She truly lived an amazing life and will be missed. Love, Jan

I consider it one of God's great blessings to have known Charlotte for 60+ years and to have been able to call her my friend for every moment of that time. Sue and I extend our sincere empathy for her family. She loved you very much. To paraphrase King David, we can't bring her back to us but we can go to her. May God's grace and peace engulf her loving family and friends until we meet again.
