Charlotte, I’ll always remember the years we worked together at Harris Communications. I considered you a friend as well as an excellent and dedicated employee. I would love to be at your funeral but recently found out I have a cracked rib which prevents me from breathing well, so I won’t be able to be there. I want your family to know how very much you will be missed by your peers. Mike, we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was saddened to learn of Charlotte’s death. I have many fond childhood memories of Charlotte, as well as Bob and Ron, from our 4-H friendship that grew each year during the McLeod County Fair. My condolences to Charlotte’s family and friends.

Upon hearing this news, I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Charlotte’s family. I worked with her at the Waconia Patriot, and always enjoyed our random “visits” when we would run into each other after she left. Mike, it was so obvious that you were the love of her life! May she rest in peace in God’s mighty hand, free from pain and suffering!
