My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I enjoyed working with Char both at Grandview and at Allina. I don’t think I ever seen her without a smile, even during rough work situations.
Char was a great friend, co-worker and neighbor. she always had a smile and a positive word to share. It always amazed me how calm she could be no matter what. Char, you will be missed by many. My prayers go out to you and your family.
