Re: [Felvtalk] Please add Charlotte to the CLS
Laura, I haven't been on here in a while, but I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you lost Charlotte. It sounds like she was very lucky to have you loving her. Prayers for peace going out to you.

Re: [Felvtalk] Please add Charlotte to the CLS
Laura, I was saddened to read that Charlotte has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. She had your love to help her cross. Maybe that is why you felt the peacefulness as she crossed over. Her way of telling you she was OK. I truly believe our Angels are watching over us until we all meet again.
