Ms. Betty, I loved you more than you ever knew. I miss you so much. The only comfort I have is knowing that one day we will see one another again, in your new home. You were so very special to me. I haven't been in the family as long as the rest, but that doesn't mean my love for you was any less. Nicholas talks about you every day. We love you and miss you dearly.

To one of my favorite Aunts, she will always have a special place in my heart forever and always. Aunt Charlene was a very special person and would always say the truth even when you did not want to hear it and she always was a giving person when it came to her family, she loved them so. I know deep in my heart she is at peace and I will miss her so much but heaven has holes and I know she will be watching over all of us.
I love you Aunt Charlene pass the stars and back.
