Wow! I don’t know where to begin. We met in Boone at AppalachianState University. We traveled together, had children together and shared so many of life’s experiences . . She was the ying to my yang. What a fight she endured! Rest In Peace dear Charlotte! I know Brenda and Gail were waiting for you with their tatting shuttles in their hands! Tat on!!
Charlotte and I started a long and amazing friendship 50 years ago when I joined the math department at Byrd Middle school. Not only did we share a love of teaching math, we played bridge weekly and created a wonderful traveling group with Barbara Mauury and RuthAnne Davis. We traveled all over the states ,Canada and Europe and on occasion had our husbands join us on the European cruises.

We’re so sorry Danny! We know it was expected but still a shock. Charlotte was certainly very brave through all that. We’ll be thinking of you and praying for you, Danielle and the grandchildren. John and Gwen
