I knew both Charlotte and her husband, Andy, and felt they were very personable, generous to a fault and wonderfully interesting to talk with. I will miss Charlotte's calls and friendship. She and Andy were not only friends but also clients. God has another special guest in his home!

I worked with Charlotte at Scott AFB. We were also in a car pool together for a few years. I remember when she dated Andy and was at their wedding. Fond memories of an exciting time in her life. I remember her talking about her family, your names are still familiar to me. Great friend and coworker. Blessings to her family .
