I have many fond memories of visitng Charlotte at the farm. Mrs. Wentland always welcomed me with a warm smile and food! Heaven is lucky to have her!
Charlotte is a lot like her Mother, kind, creative and giving.
Mrs. Wentland, thank you for giving me one of my best friends. You will live in on in her!
Our deepest sympathy,
Sue (Sand) & Dick and Family
Arnie & Jan, and your extended family.
My sincere condolences at the passing of your Mother. I did not know your mother, but she was born the same month as my mum, and it’s sounds like she really enjoyed life.
May you cherish the memories of family times together.
Sincerely,

I was so sorry to read in the Albany Enterprise that Apples had passed away. I so enjoyed talking to her at the bank get togethers. She was such a lovely person.
