Charlotte made me a better person, I learned how to really have fun! Water fights with my grandson and Charlotte who shared the same birthday, Friday night suppers from Wendy's, cross country in the Subaru so Charlotte could attend the Rose Bowl and I could visit my sister, lost in Los Angeles, terrible blizzard coming over Trail Ridge, spontaneous picnics in the park on a nice day so many fond memories I will have forever. I will miss you my friend................Stacey, my daughter, sent me a text and she says it all. She was a wonderful person. Just know that Jesus was patiently for her with His arms wide open. She is in a better place now. Bless her Heart.

Although Cookie was 2 years old than I - she hung out with a couple of her classmates on the street where I lived (Terry Place) so I got to know here very well. She definitely had a flamboyant personality and tremendous sense of humor. We were always guaranteed a good time when Cookie was around. Just writing this makes me smile!

Cookie was one of a kind! Spent many years together at BS and EHS. Can't be there to celebrate her life since we're in CA right now, but perhaps we could wear our flashiest outfits tomorrow in her memory!! Margaret and Dick Bosold
