Charlet has SO many friends! So many, that it would be an endless list! That was how she was, a friend to everyone. She loved to get together with her friends for Card Club, loved to travel, and loved the beach and sunshine whenever she could have it. Char "hated the cold!" which she would say every winter. She loved her family and friends with zeal beyond measure and her presence will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
