To my dear friend Jennifer and her family. I will never forget your mother’s humor and determination. I was talking with her one day and asked what has she been up to. She replied, “Well, I just took a swim in the Atlantic Ocean like I do a lot of in the mornings for my exercise.” Wow. Swimming in the Atlantic Ocean for exercise. That told me right there what determination Miss Charlotte has! I saw right then where Jenny gets it from; her beauty, strong will, sense of humor, intelligence and love for other people and her family. Love you Miss Charlotte!
