Charlotte,
I will miss being with you every day. You were such an inspiration to so many people on how to handle God's will. You showed us Faith, Strength, Bravery, Patience, Friendship, Love and always a Smile.
I watched you suffer
I saw you die,
But all I could do is sit close by.
You went away,
We had to part.
God eased your pain,
But broke my heart.
Love you,
Barb
