Harper was like an older brother and Charlotte always made me feel like her favorite. Spent a couple of summers with them in Magnolia. When ever in Arkansas it would just not do unless we at least had dinner. Condolences to Cynthia and family.

Charlotte was one of my best friends and will be missed immensely. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. A special thanks to Cynthia and family for making her last months as comfortable as possible. She was probably my longest time friend since our mothers were friends in the 1930's before they were each married. May I see her again when my life in this present world is over. I pray God's! richest blessings on the family. Martha
