Our Deepest Sympathy is extended to Charlotte’s family. She always had a smile on her face and so happy to see people and so very nice. Whenever we saw her she would always ask about our kids & grandkids. When they had the bar we spent many Sundays after Mass going to the bar with our friends and the little kids. So many good memories, visiting with Charlotte. We will miss her!

Aunt Char was a joyous woman that will be missed by many. When I think of her, I remember how she had a gift for being able to connect with an individual. She would hold my face and look into my eyes as she said hello and as she would say goodbye. She did this because she cared and wanted people to know they were loved. I am glad she did, as I will always remember the flicker of light in her eye, the smile she had on her face, and the long and deep hug that always followed. I feel blessed to have this be the memory that will follow me when I think of her for the rest of my life. Rest in peace Aunt Char. Know you were loved by many and that you will be missed.
Our condolences to Sonny and family.
May you rest in peace, Char.
