Al and Family, We were distressed to hear about Charlotte. You two have been missed at church. Regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance in life we are never ready to give up our loved ones. The only possible comfort has to be our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. You have been, are, and will be in our thoughts and paryers. We hope in some small way it does help to know others do care. May Our Lord Hold You Closely in His Arms! Zunita and Joe

I was chargrined to see Charlotte’s obituary in the paper this morning. She was a couageous lady with more spunk than an astronaut. We are thinking about you and your family and will be there Wednsday.
We remember the brave fight she waged and how she handled the pain and discomfort over the years. At least she is now in peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
May God hold you in his arms and give you peace.
Dear Al, So far away, but I wish you comfort in losing Charlotte. Jane Neale

My Aunt Charlotte occupies a very special place in my life. My favorite memories of her entail the doll clothes she sewed for my doll. They were the height of fashion. It’s how I remember Aunt Charlotte throughout her life: very inventive, artistic, and infused with a sense of fun, joy, and liveliness. There was style and beauty to everything she made. Thank you for being a part of my life!
When I think of Charlotte, I think of my sister and of the happy childhood we had on Eagle Road. Those happy days I’ll never forget. Charlotte has been a good sister to me. I’ll always miss her.
Hi Al, Glenn & Bob,
I’m sorry for your loss. It is a difficult time, but look back at your good memories of times together.

Always,

Al,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
We were so sad to hear of Charlotte’s passing. She was such a good friend. We will always cherish our memories of her and the
good times we had together.
We are indeed sorry to hear about Charlotte. Our thoughts and prayers are with Al, Glenn, and Bob. She was a great cousin to my parents and family and she will be missed.
To Al,Glenn and Bob- Sorry we can,t be there with you at this hour, but we will be there in spirit.We are all thinking of you.
Dear Al, Bob and Glenn– I was so saddened to learn today of Charlotte’s passing. I wish I could have been there to help you celebrate her life. I have many fond memories of her and her enthusiasm and joy for life. The last time we saw you was a Christmas at my Aunt Edel and Uncle Curt Berg’s home in Sutton. You said something about Bob’s work in NH and we all were surprised when I said the name of his company, having recently visited it. It was great to later connect with Bob who helped me keep up with family news for awhile. Your drop-in visits brought such joy to the Berg’s, my grand parents and my parents, Hans and Helen Cerny. Al, my wife Carol and I had hoped to drop in to say hi this past Feb but travel plans changed and we did not call. Oh how I wish we had taken your road home. While Carol only met you and Charlotte a few times over the years she too had warm memories of those brief visits. You guys have a way of doing that!
Although I am the youngest with the Cerny name who knew Charlotte I have fond memories of picnics in Holden and other times when family got together.
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerest condolences and with our love, Tom and Carol Cerny
Dear Al, Bob and Glen– Carol and I were so saddened to learn of Charlotte’s passing. While we didn’t see you often over the years we have fond memories — starting when I was a little kid at family picnics in Holden (Aunt Gussie and Uncle Hans were very special people) and many times at the Berg’s and with my grandparents over the years. Charlotte’s enthusiasm and joy of life were contagious and will long be remembered by all. I was disappointed we could not be there to help you celebrate her life. We will keep you in our prayers. Tom & Carol Cerny
