To Charlie's closest friends and family, I offer my deepest sympathies. I looked forward to seeing Charlie in the EMC Cafeteria. Always had a smile on her face and very pleasant. The world is a little colder place without her warm heart.

I am so sorry for your loss, and I was so sad to hear of Charlie's passing this morning. I work in the same building as she did, and she was always a bright spot in the day when we would go down to get our lunch - always smiling, friendly and she knew everyone's name. We are really going to miss her. Keeping your family in our prayers.
