So enjoyed meeting you, Charlotte, some years back and
'catching up' with Aunt Mary, as I called her. Always such
a dear sweet loving lady! May she rest in peace.
I have some very pleasant memories of both your mom and dad. Most of them included my mom, Addie, Uncle Herman, and Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Gene. Art and I are very sorry for your loss. Please know that we are praying for you and your family.
What a wonderful homecoming she will have!! Uncle Babe with open arms, mother and uncle Herman shuffling the dominoes. She's having fun already. She will be dearly missed by an extensive extended family as well as the immediate family. Charlotte & Lance, such wonderful examples of what Babe & Mary intended life to be.
Sorry we can't be there, but know our hearts & thoughts are with you
Ched & Debbie
