I have so many memories of Aunt Charlotte. I remember going to Westlake Elementary and calling her Aunt Charlotte. She would tell me, "At school, I am Mrs. Carroll, not Aunt Charlotte." We'll, those that know me, know I am stubborn, so every day, I told her, "g
Good morning, Aunt Charlotte" until she just accepted I was going to keep doing it. And every year, from 4th grade on, I would help her setup her room for the school year.
I remember staying with her around the same time my cousin, Greg, was going to get married. Aunt Charlotte, Sandy (Greg's wife), and I were up late one night making the flowers wrapped around the little net filled almonds for the wedding.
I know she was a strong woman that survived so much. She loved her family and friends, and she loved being a grandmother. She was also there for me if I needed her, and with the blessing of her family, Aunt Charlotte and my mom gave me my eyesight back....a truly amazing thing.
I love you, Aunt Charlotte!!
