Heather, Drew and Farleigh, we want to thank you for sharing Charlotte with us. Over the years of cycling she was always a smiling, kind and inspiring little girl we always were excited to see. Summer would always watch cars arriving or kids warming up and seek out Charlotte and as soon as she saw her Summer’s face would light up. Charlotte was an awesome friend to Summer and never hesitated to help calm Summer down and make her laugh.
Our Monday nights after Midweek “Frosty’s” at Wendy’s were something we looked forward to. When ever we go to Wendy’s we will always order an extra Frosty for Charlotte.
We are so sorry for your loss but also so appreciative to have know Charlotte, she made our lives brighter for knowing her.

Dave, Lisa Shaler & Family says
Charlotte was a wonderful neighbor, friend and babysitter. Our kids looked up to her with respect. She always did something fun with them. Even when the kids didn’t need too much supervision, they called her up to come play anyway as a friend. They got along so well with her. We as parents liked that as Charlotte and her sister Farliegh were a big part of my kids lives, I sometimes had to step in and tell my kids not to bother them too much as they had responsibilities and couldn’t always come over. Both girls have been great role models for our kids. We will miss you terribly Charlotte and so will the kids and Bosley our dog who loved to go for walks with Charlotte.

Charlotte was such a strong soul and I am privileged to have meet her and been able to sit and talk over dinner with her and all of you, play with dog and go for a walk. Your an amazing family with so much love you can see it in your beautiful girls. I know I can’t say anything to bring back your beautiful baby girl, but know in your heart she is no long battling the demon that was within her, She is now at peace and can smile without feeling like she is lieing to anyone. That touch you feel on your back, shoulder or the warmth on your cheek is her saying, “I’m right here with you all and I am okay.” Our hearts and thoughts are with you all during this very difficult time. Hugs to you all and we love you. Tammy & Kent
