In Remembrance

Charlotte Marie Strand Petite

January 12,1985 to June 14, 2022

I got the honor of writing this on behalf of Charlotte,  she was like another mother to me, never wanted to be defined by life’s misjudgments. As she was much more than that. Char was a beautiful astute child, She was feisty and outspoken. However, would do anything for anyone and always made the room feel like home with her smile and sense of humor. Even while struggling with her own hardships. She loved her family deeply, believed strongly in second chances, maybe because she craved another chance for herself.  

“In life, we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, no one else will ever fill. I cried endlessly when you died but I promise, I won’t let the tears mare the smiles that you’ve given me when you were alive. I know you are listening from above” 

– Unknown

It’s always hard to say goodbye so for now we will say see you later.
