The funeral home was packed with love and respect for Charlotte and your wonderful family. The strength it took for you to share your thoughts of Charlotte with us, were both touching and amazing, Kristin. Mother Teresa said the following: I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. And, I know that you both can attest to this. Know that we are praying for strength for you.
