My deepest condolences to the family. Charlotte was a forever friend and a trusted colleague. Her compassion and sincere positive regard for all that she touched was admirable. Charlotte was the best Nurse on the 5th floor at Mt. Sinai Medical Center. I will cherish the memories. Rest in eternal peace.

Cousin, I am so glad that I got a chance to see you the last time I came home. We laughed as we talked about Grandma Stella and you fussed at the nurse. You fought a good fight and now you can rest with our Ancestors. We have gained another Angel. To the Family, May you be comforted during this time. Sandra and Tanya I love you. To the children she truly showed how much she loved you guys. Keep all the memories. To Hubby, thank you for being there for my cousin. Love always. Cousin Tracy
