To Aunt Charlotte's Children & families="Tootie" Love (Nell Karcher) here saying at 74 years old, I won't be there (traveling doesn't agree with me) BUT my love & prayers are with you at this time. I loved Uncle Jim & Aunt Charlotte very much. My folks, Nellie & Bernard Love were very close to them & my childhood memories of our 2 families together so often are precious to me. So much love & laughter always shared. One time when they came, they brought ice cream packed in dry ice=blew my child mind: how could ice be dry--that day the laughs were on me! Dad & Jim played horseshoes while the ladies talked & kids played which was standard for our get togethers. Uncle Jim was a great tease & "picked"on me often. Seems like Aunt Charlotte laughed & smiled as much as she spoke. They were very beloved by our family & not only because Jim was my Mom's brother, but they simply were good people. As I am the last living of my parent's family of 6 kids, mine are the only memories to share with your family. Know you were loved so much by your parents...you were their blessings just as they were yours.

I remember as a kid char coming over to visit. You never realize how special the time that you have with a person until it's too late. I enjoyed time at. Her cabin and I remember going to sleep to the sound of the whipperwills. She will be missed dearly. My prayers are with the family.

My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Charlotte. The loss of our dear loved ones can be very difficult and distressing to cope with. It has helped myself and others when we remember that they now safely rest in the loving memory of our Grand Creator, waiting for the fulfillment of His promised purpose. Also, may your own good and loving memories of Charlotte help to soothe your hearts. Sincerely
( Revelation 21 : 3-5; Acts 24 : 15; Psalms 37 : 11 ).
