I was so sad that I didn't hear about Charlotte's death and the memorial until too late to attend. I loved Charlotte, and appreciated her warmth and her creativity. She made us feel welcomed at Warren Community Fellowship, and took a particular interest in our younger daughter, Tessa, taking her on little field trips and showing her things that she thought she might be interested in. I loved going by her house at Easter time and seeing the egg-tree in the front yard. I copy her front porch decoration of greens and holly in a milk can at Christmas, and it reminds me of her each year as I fill it up. Sadly, after she moved to Longview, I only saw her a few times at church events. I felt like we were kindred spirits, and even more so after reading the lovely story of her life that was written by Jim Morud. She will be one of those special ones that I look for in heaven. Please accept our deepest sympathies. Love, Becky and Leo Franz##imported-begin##Becky and Leo Franz##imported-end##
