I was very sad to hear of Charlotte's passing. She was a very dear & thoughtful friend. We took many driving trips together with other gals to Canada (Three times to different locations), Branson, through Wisconsin, Iowa, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and part of Minnesota. Flew to Hawaii and to Vegas. Such wonderful memories. She was one of the most appreciative persons that I have ever known. I will miss her even tho we were across the State of SD and did not see each other often enough. I send my deepest sympathy to her daughter, relatives, and friends.

Dearest Judy and Family, your mom was truly one of the sweetest women I have ever known. Every Christmas me and my daughter Kaylee got a card from her. When I got cancer, she sent me several cards with the most sincere messages. She was amazing and will be missed.
My sincere symathy,

To family of Charlotte, when I stated my memories of Charlotte yesterday I neglected including Jamacia for a trip we were with a large group of her friends from Yankton and other areas. Such a great trip that was. I know she thoroughly enjoyed it as she did all trips.

Charlotte was a dear, dear woman. She was talented at so many things and would share her talents with anyone. Once she even restored an old oil painting--even oil painting was one of her many talents. I grieve at her death.
