How beautiful a request to share kindness! I think I usually do acts of kindness but this will make me more aware. My Mom was from North Chelmsford and just passed at 93 yr. I know she would have known Charlotte and most of the family. My sympathy to the Dinnigan/White family.

So much beauty and music. One of my earliest memories is going into Aunt Alice’s house as an eight year old and hearing Charlotte on the piano, boogie woogie. Such style and beauty, and so happy to share it with others. Wonderful music, generosity in sharing.

Charlotte was loved by everyone that knew her. We knew her from Skip’s back in the 90’s when she was an original member of the Chelmsford Cribbage league. Many of our current members started in the league when Charlotte did and remember her as a very kind,soft spoken, and caring lady.
We will keep her and her family in our thoughts.
