I was a neighbor of Char’s and she made our family feel right at home. Soon after we moved in she brought us cookies and her generosity never ended. We shared a garden together and spent many lazy afternoons together in our backyards. Char was a wonderful person , a great neighbor and friend. Rest In Peace Char, Julie Stein
