Charlie was the most selfless person anyone would meet; she was always willing to help whenever she could. She was an extraordinary musician and singer; she played many instruments but none she would master like the guitar! She impacted so many other musicians and people with her gift, talent, kindness, and her smile. She will be truly missed by her family and so many others! Oralia, “Oreo,” “Charlie,” “Tia Lar Lar,” “Chuck,” “Ms. Brown, “and “Charlene”… we love you so much! It’s not goodbye, but we’ll see you later.
