I will never forget my "Aunt" Char who was like a second mother to me for the first half of my life. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her introducing my parents and if it weren't for the loving attitude (that was very scary to me as a child!), I probably wouldn't have turned out to be who I am today. She has been a best friend to my mother for over 40 years and will be dearly missed in many ways. She was vibrant in a feisty, sarcastic way with a quick wit that would make anyone stop in their tracks and think "what did she just say?" She had a contagious and unique chuckle that my sisters, brother, and I can still hear echoing in our ears after all these years. She thought the world of her family and friends, in an unselfish way that was to the benefit of all. Dale, Ronnie, Chad, and the rest of the family, we all feel your loss and want you to know that her memory will live on with love in our hearts.
