There has NEVER been a more cooler, hip, person from the 60's and 70's! Char became my ONLY Big sister, when she married into my CRAZY Family! We swapped many recipes, foods, (what a cook!) and laughter. I will never forget the first time I witnessed the way"Reflections", by The Supremes, was meant to be danced to! She has always been full of Life, Love and guidance. Her LOVE of the Lord and OUR CREATOR will be remembered by many that she has touched in her journey here, on this side. When ever I had the pleasure to see her (which was not much) she always said the same two things to me, "Hi Ritz" and "Look at "Zza, Zza"! Joe, Charley, Teri, Denise, Dianne, and Armando, your mom is the BEST, and my heart and Prayers go out to Leo and all of you, in this most difficult time.

I met Char when she married Chach and also going to the New Life Center. What a great friend and sister in the Lord that I had the pleasure of knowing! A very warm and funny person. She taught me how to make marinara sauce, homemade pizza, and chicken mole. We had so many laughs together. We visited their house many times. May God bless you and your wonderful children. I'm so glad you are finally with your Lord and mine, Jesus. I loved knowing you. Susie

I was just a little girl when Char moved across the street from us. I was in awe of her, she was the coolest person I had ever met! She taught me how to dance to Diana Ross and the Supremes. She was my first friend and became my sister.
She brought a joy and Love to my family that we had never known.
To Charlie, Teri, Denice,Dianne, and Armando, my heart is broken for all of you. I Love you all so very much and pray Gods peace and comfort surround and keep you.
All my Love

Now who am I gonna argue with. I will never forget the day I walked you thru how to join facebook. That was one of your addictions. But before that it was always Jesus, Leo, the kids, grandkids and me hehe. When I would call, if you said I am reading, I knew it was the Bible, did not even have to ask. I'm so grateful I got to talk to you one last time. I am truly gonna miss you.
