Dearest Charlotte,
I want you to know how deeply I regret that we never got together one last time as we so often spoke about. I will always remember you as the dearest, kindnest, and most of all the bravest of sister's anyone could have. You left a big hole in all of our hearts, and you will be missed and in our hearts forever. I know how you loved life and family as I do, I will always look up to the heavens and think of you and (your angels) smiling down on us. We shall meet again one day and all be united. Until then rest in peace hush hush sweet Charlotte.
Love your Sister Mary

Dear Irma, Jeannette, Dolores, Ruby, Virginia, Theresa, June, Gene, Ernest, Morris, Earl, James, Russell, David and Michael. I was so sad to hear of Charlotte's passing, and of her lengthy illness. Hearing the stories told by Russell and Bill at the service this afternoon, brought back my own warm memories of visiting your house and joining the girls on a trip to the laundromat. The quiet demeanor of both Charlotte and Irma in class belied how much fun they were outside of school. I didn't get to know all of you well during childhood, but somehow I feel as if I did. For in many ways, to know a few is to know all of the Tate Family. You were fortunate to have Charlotte as your sister, and she, my friends, was very, very lucky to have all of you. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

Auntie Charlotte,
you were and are the best aunt that I will ever have and whenever I think of you I will always think of the fun and exciting times you and me spent together and I will truly miss those and I will remember each and every one. You were strong and positive and willing. Your soul was strong always, and I know that you are probably happy with your mother and father and I will eventually see you and them and everyone else. All I ask of you is nothing because you have done everything and more. thank you. I wish you the best and the happiest and I want you to tell everyone I say hello, and give benji a big hug and kiss for me and give him company. I love you and always will,
thank you.

love,
Kayla Coon <3

Aunt Charlotte,
Words can not explain how much I will miss you and how much I loved you . You have been an wonderful Aunt to me and to Kayla. I know that you are in a better place and I know you are watching over all of us. You have been so strong during your most trying times,you always cared more about everyone else and how they were,than feeling sorry for yourself. I remember all the times I spent the weekends with you while I was growing up and you will truly be missed by me and so many other people. You were a ONE OF A KIND. My god bless you. You were (ARE) the BEST.. I love you.
Your Niece, Patti
