Dear Mr. Opdenaker and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Opdenaker passing away.  I have so many wonderful memories from my youth spending time at your home in Parkside.  I always enjoyed the love and laughter that surrounded your family.  I hope that she did not suffer.  It has been some time since I saw everyone and I will keep all of you in my prayers. 

Unfortunately, my husband, Joe and I will not be able to attend the services.

Please know that our thoughts are with you.

Regina (Castaldi)Barret and Joe.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad and difficult time.  We will surely miss Charlotte as she was such a warm, friendly and loving person and great neighbor.  May she now rest in peace in our father’s promised kingdom and may her spirit continue to thrive in our hearts as we reflect on her memory and the joy that she brought to us.
