Cheryl, Len and family:

I’m so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Although I didn’t know her she must have been a wonderful

woman to have raised such a beautiful daughter. I’m sure she will be greatly missed in your family. We all

know she is now at peace and I pray you will be too in time.

Love Aunt Jan

I will really miss Aunt Charlotte but I hold dearly all the fun times we had together while I was growing up. Aunt Char was so sweet, kind and such a positive person to be around. I hope all of you heal and find peace and comfort that she is whole again and with all her loved ones that passed before her as she waits for the rest of us to join her. Love to all of you!

Dana, Andrew, Michael, Jonathan, Audrey
