Dear Patti~  You have my very deepest sympathy.  Your mother and I shared wonderful times through the years.  I shall never forget her or your dad.  Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. 
Love, Alice Clarke

My name is Joseph Solecki the third and I would like to take some time to tell anybody who views this about Charlotte or at least my remembrance of her. Charlotte was a very special unique lady whose strong spirit and clever wit where her greatest assists. I remember when I was young she would have easter egg hunts for me and she always made pork and sauerkraut for new years. She was a great cook!! I would hope that anyone viewing this would not forget about Pat Collins in her time of loss.

 As a grandmother  Charlotte was the best, but as a mother I am sure Pat would tell you how wonderful Charlotte was as well.

I would like to close by saying anyone who knew my grandmother knows heaven has it’s hands full and I bet right now Saint Peter is loosing to her at gin rummie.

I was proud to call you Nana and you will be missed

Dear Pat ,
Our sincere sympathy to you and your family at this difficult time. As you know your mother was a very special person who was loved by so many, including us.
We had many laughs and happy times with your parents in years past!
Thank you for calling to notify us of her death. We are sorry we were unable to be at her service.
Our thoughts and prayers are and will continue to be with you!
Love,
Glenn and Pat Breidenstine
