I remember meeting Charlotte and Arnold when I was running my senior group at Temple Solel.  I tried to welcome the seniors to my new group and was feeling quite nervous myself.  Then I met Charotte.  Her warmth and support put me right at ease.  She was always so friendly and outgoing.  I appreciated how supportive and important she made me feel.  I know she made showing up to my senior group a priority.  She wanted me to feel their support.  It meant so much to me to see her friendly face and hear her very supportive voice at each event.  I remember at times expressing some question on whether I had the best programs.  She stopped me each time I seemed to question my ability and told me that I was doing a fantastic job and that people were so pleased with my programs.   When I would see her at services she was my cheerleader spreading the word to others about the excellent senior programs I had.   She had such a positive way of communicating to others. She left no room for doubt in myself.  She must have been an amazing mother and grandmother when it came to instilling confidence in others.

It was great seeing her in our beloved La Costa Valley neighborhood.  I ran into Arnold and Charlotte and the pool quite a few times. There she was being such a devoted loving partner.  Arnold was in the pool so she was in the pool!  I thought they were so cute together!  Always side by side.  Her partnership was so important.  You could see the devotion she had to her loving partner.

 I learned so much from Charlotte.  She was a fantastic example to so many without even realizing it.  I will miss her encouraging voice.  Always believing in me and what I was doing.
