You suffered for so long with this disease. Your family is so grateful that the pain is no longer and we all thank the Lord for giving you to us for as long as He did. However, there will be a void in our lives now that you are no longer with us that can not be filled. Thank you for everything you gave and we will meet each other again in our Heavenly home.

God bless Char and her family. Met Char when we both started in security at Citi, and later realized our parents lived across the street from one another. A true sweetheart who always greeted you with a smile. She will truly be missed.

It was an honor and a privelege to work with Char for 7 years at Citibank. She and I shared many a laugh and many a war story. She was always talking about her family and how much she loved and cared for them. She will be missed.

I worked with Char at Citibank for several years. She was kind to everyone and had a great sense of humor. I also remember what a devoted mom, grandma, and daughter she was - she was so involved with the activities of her grandchildren and always had a story to tell about them. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I sat near Char for about a year at Citibank and in that short time came to know her fun personality, even through her painful struggles. She was a kind-hearted and gentle soul and I just loved being around her. I will miss her ~ You all have my sympathy.

My friend Char will be greatly missed. She was the strongest woman I have ever had the honor to know. Even with all of her challenges, she always had a positive attitude. To her family, please know how much her friends at Citibank cared for her and we will remember her always.

To Char's family,

I am very sorry for your loss. Char will be greatly missed by many people for many different reasons. She was a very honest, caring person. She loved her family very much and often spoke with pride or humor about her grandchildren. They truly brought great joy to her life.She endured alot this last year and fought hard - for that I greatly admire and respect her. It's very hard to say goodbye to such a wonderful person but know she was in alot of pain and now she is finally free of that and looking down at her family with a smile again. To her family - share the memories of her with each other as hard as it may be right now because those and time are going to help you get through this until you can be with her again. I feel very blessed for having had her in my life and will always cherish that.
