Oh my, I have so many fond memories of Charlotte while Rick, Randy, Russ, and Tom were in 4-H! After those years Charlotte and I went to EHU meetings across Kansas and planned many Homemaker Council activities together. She was such a good person and ready to help with projects. In later years I would chat with her while she was watching grandchildren show at the county fair. She was a good lady; she will be missed.

Dear Rick, and all the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I understand so well what you are going thru. I wish I had some profound words to share, but all I can say is Rick, the time you took to talk to my mom on the route meant so much to her, and Margie your kindness in the ER with mom so few nights ago, I really really appreciated it. I wish you all the best, your mom was an amazing woman and she will always live in our memories.
