    Charlotte was a wonderful grandma to all of her grandkids and all of the kids in her neighborhood. She was giving to all those in her neighborhood in need. Most people do not get a long with their mother in law, but I loved her very much and appreciated all of her help with our 4 boys who are now grown men. She was formidable force with a beautiful green-thumb! She will be truly missed and loved always
