My prayers and deepest condolences go out to the family. Charlie was a sweet lady who knew how to serve up a good meal, along with a good conversation. It's been a while since I've been to the restaurant, and saw her but I always enjoyed visiting with her. She will be missed by all that knew her. May God be with her family as they endure the days ahead.
