Charlotte passed away July 25, 2007, after battling breast cancer for 8 years. Charlotte did not let it interfere wth her life although it came back several times. She continued to go shopping and loved decorating her home with the change of the seasons. She had us decorating her nursing room for the 4th of July ('07).
Charlotte lived in Champaign and had two children, Summer and Jared Shelby.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN 2004 OR THERE ABOUTS, I HAD THE PLEASURE TO SPEAK TO CHARLOTTE. WE HAD A LENGTHY CHAT. I REMEMBER BACK IN 4TH GRADE, I HAD A BIRTHDAY PARTY HELD AT THE OLD Y.W.C.A. PARTY ROOM. MOST OF THE KIDS CAME AND BROUGHT SOME SMALL TYPE OF BIRTHDAY PRESENT. SHE MENTIONED THIS TO ME AND ASKED IF I REMEMBERED WHAT SHE BROUGHT. , I TOLD HER "SURE, I REMEMBER WHAT YOU BROUGHT", SHE CHUCKLED AND SAID "OK, TELL ME, WHAT DID I BRING YOU" I TOLD HER, WITHOUT HESITATION, YOU BROUGHT ME A YELLOW KITE. SHE RESPONDED, HOW DID YOU REMEMBER THAT. I TOLD HER, YOU NEVER FORGET THE LITTLE THINGS THAT SOMEONE SPECIAL DOES FOR YOU. CHARLOTTE, SOMEDAY I'LL ONCE AGAIN FLY THAT KITE, WITH YOU. ~ I DID NOT KNOW CHARLOTTE PASSED UNTIL I SEEN HER PICTURE ON THE BOARD OF THOSE WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US, AT OUR 40TH REUNION. I FIRST MET CHARLOTTE IN 1ST GRADE AT THE OLD EDWARDS SCHOOL. WHAT A WONDERFUL GIRL TO HAVE KNOWN. JIM SHERER
