I am so sorry to learn of your Mother’s passing, I knew her from the Auxilllary at the fire hall, I will especially remember her for her wonderful smile, and her kindness, and also her wonderful Treasure chest cookies she baked,,, I was thinking of her the other day when I drove past her home in North Warren.My prayers will be with you at this time .
I am going to miss my friend Char, she was an awesome person, Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma, Mother in law. She enjoyed every moment even the pain did not stop her. She loved feeding the world, having her 1 beer, fixing a sour stomach with a coca cola, watching the mets & browns, listening to 92.3 all day long hoping to hear a Tom Jones song, singing with Patty cake sitting beside her in the giant chair. My life is better because she was part of it. She is at peace, no longer in pain, but I am going to miss our conversations & her all around Sexiness. You are all in my prayers.
So very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. My thoughts & prayers during your time of sorrow. I will never forget my “other” Mother growing up on Canton St. with all of you.
Thank you Brian, it is so nice to hear from you. Mom thought the world of you! Her service will be at the Lewis Funeral Home on Thursday at 1PM if you are able to attend. Carol Hinderliter
Carol,
I wish that I could be there, but unfortunately I am living in NC and can’t make it. I just happened to check the Warren paper’s web page yesterday and was shocked to read of her passing. Your Mom was a special person to me and took such good care of me and everyone else. Please greet Pam, Judy, Mary Jo, and Bobby for me & pass along my condolences. Take Care, Brian
The Joe Galbo Jr. family sends it sincere condolences and will keep Char and the family in our prayers.
I had the pleasure of spending some time with Charlotte as a PCA with CRI. It was an honor to get to know her and Paddy. My sympathy goes out to the family….she loved you all so much!! God Bless!!!
