hoohaa Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I've known Charlotte and Herbert all my life. Charlotte and Herbert were my parents friends for years before I was ever born. Charlotte was my mother, Rosella's best friend(partner in mischief..) for over 30 + years. The yarns they would spin...The tales they told. "They cooked enough food for Farro's Army ..." Charlotte always had the warmest smile, a kind and gentle hug every time you saw her. Her loving spirit wrapped everyone she encountered with warmth, friendship and love. She will be sorely missed. Leigh, Denise, Dana and family, my heart goes out to you. Love and prayers.
