Charlotte and Lloyd were Special! I taught with Charltote at Liberty Bell, she became my travel companion when I had Grant Director meetings in Nashville. I loved her dearly, we had so much fun. I remember one time in particular where we shared so much laughter and passed it on at our meeting for others to join in our mischief. Charlotte was very devoted to family and while I did not know Lloyd as well, I shared his stories of skiing and more, always a gentleman, just like my Dad. I heard about children and Grandchildren and how proud and the great times. Charlotte and Lloyd are remembered as very special friends, my heartfelt love and prayers for the family.
