All the children loved her and she was known as the Baby Whisperer. Charlotte also loved doing crafts, riding to the river and drinking diet coke. Her positive outlook on her illness and on life was always "God's got this!".

Carolyn, Sharon & Tommy-
I’m heartbroken and very sad about Charlotte.
My family loved her so much and I was so grateful to have known her. She took the best care of my 2 children at Mother Goose, and I never ever worried one second when I dropped them off.
Her attitude was genuine.
Her love was real and unconditional.
She was like family to me and my children. My mom thought the world of Charolette.
She was an example of how we should love God.
There isn’t enough space in this guest book to say all I need to say.
I love y’all & I’m so sorry.
The Angels have wrapped their wings around our Ms. Charolette and now she is one and whole and caring for all of the tiny little Angels in Heaven.
With love

Sorry for your loss of Charlotte. She was a very sweet and special person. Always loved working with her. But now she is having fun joking and telling Mr. Billy how things were at day care just a laughing. Hug my twin boys up there for me. Bless to all of you. R.I.P. Charlotte.
