Aunt Charlotte was the very best! I don't know why I did not research her obituary sooner. I always had a dear friend and ally in Aunt Charlotte..., funny , smart, beyond capable in any field she chose. She loved her immediate family and Uncle Jack with fearlessness... I admired so many of her qualities. She was a blessing to all.
