I just wanted to share that Charlotte was a wonderful woman who welcomed me into her home when I was just a little girl and neighbor friend of Moriah’s. She was an amazing woman, and always made me feel so comfortable in her home. As I have mentioned to Moriah before, I will never forget peanut butter soup that she made us! My thoughts and prayer are with your family.
