  1. I’m very sorry for your loss. I got to know your Mom in the last several years on her visits to Texas. I want to thank you so much for sharing your Mom with me. She was a wonderful person and I enjoyed getting to know her. I will miss her.

  2. Although I did not know Charlotte personally, I know her son, Tim through Oxea. Tim is a reflection of Charlotte’s goodness and kindness.

    I have also met Evan Knight who is a very talented young man. I know Chrlotte enjoyed his music.

    My prayers and thoughts are for the family during this time.

    Praise the Lord for the cherished memories that will stay with the family forever.

    Kindest regards and blessings to all….

  3. Anne and Family,

    My heart aches for you during this most difficult time. Although I did not know your mother I am sure she was much like mine, full of grace and fortitude, the matriarch of your large and loving family. These traits are quite evident in her remarkable daughter Anne.

    May you find peace and comfort in knowing that your grief is shared by so many.

    Heartfelt Condolences,
    Judy

    All is Well by Rosamunde Pilcher

    Death is nothing at all.
    It does not count.
    I have only slipped away into the next room.
    Nothing has happened.
    Everything remains exactly as it was.
    I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
    Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
    Call me by the old familiar name.
    Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone.
    Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
    Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
    Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
    Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
    Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
    Life means all that it ever meant.
    It is the same as it ever was.
    There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
    What is this death but a negligible accident?
    Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
    I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
    All is well.
