    Charlotte was a very special person in my life as I learned a lot from her, especially in 4-H. She was the type of person who made you feel special. So very talented and a big influence in the Biddle community.

    The Broadus paper takes a long time to get to Florida so I know this message comes very late, but I wanted the family to know now deeply sorry I am for their loss. Your mother was a special person who raised special kids and I’m sure the whole community will miss her. I send you my deepest condolences.

Add your thoughts and memories. Upon approval they will be added.
