  1. We were so srry to hear of
    your loss. Charla was like a second mother to me. She was a remarkable lady
    and helped shape my life. She will always have a special place in my heart.
    Our thought and prayers are with you all.

  2. Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy. An Eskimo traditional poem. Charla loved poems.

  3. May friends comfort you, faith uphold you, loving memories heal your heart.
    With sympathy,
