We created a GatheringUs memorial to celebrate the life of Charlotte Gayle Hofmann. Collecting your stories and memories here will offer us great comfort. As we plan a post- corona memorial service, we will post invites. Thank you for contributing.
She was a force to be reckoned with... she was southern and sassy and spoke her mind. She and I talked on an almost daily basis and we have been through so much together... some really wonderful times and some very difficult... but we were always there... moreShe was a force to be reckoned with... she was southern and sassy and spoke her mind. She and I talked on an almost daily basis and we have been through so much together... some really wonderful times and some very difficult... but we were always there for each other. I'm heartbroken she had to leave us so soon. She was only 66, just about to retire. She still had so much life left to live. It's hard to believe three months ago she was in my hospital room, helping to take care of me after Andie was born. I'm so grateful that she could be there for that first week of Andie's life, and I'm so grateful we could be here for the last week of hers. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2017, and has fought a hard, painful battle. I'm relieved she is free from that pain now.
I love you Mama. I hope you're sailing peacefully across the straight sea to Valinor. less
