Dearest Darlene, I was truly sorry to hear of the passing of your mom Charlotte, who was one of the kindest person one could meet. You and I go back many years and I don't think I've never seen you out without your mom with you. As you shared a very close and blessed relationship. Surely, she will be missed, but she lives in your heart. My sister, as we live in the Faith, you know you will see her again in eternity as Sister Charlotte was a strong believer in Jesus Christ. I am praying that the Holy Spirit (The Comforter) will bring much peace and comfort to you and your family during this time. You will be in my continued prayers. --Rhonda Anderson

"Good Morning Sister Charlotte" is how I always greeted her as she would walk down the middle aisle to get to her seat @ ALCC's Sunday Morning Services but not before we of course would exchange special hugs and I would comment on "How Nice" she looked and especially her lipstick!!! She would give me that special little laugh and that Big Beautiful Smile, then she would continue her journey to her seat. I'm truly going to miss that and Darlene... My prayers are with you and your family...you know your mom meant a lot to me.. Angela Edgerton

We will continue to lift up the family in prayer and avail ourselves to be there for you in whatever capactity is needed.

Momma Sherman will truly be missed in my life. She always had words of life to speak to me.

She lived in her purpose and will be ever cherished in my heart. May the God of All Comfort, keep you our precious Sister Darlene and your family in His loving care, strength, comfort and peace.

It takes a village and Ms Charlotte was part of mine my entire life. She has been an inspiration to me. The rides to choir practice, teaching me in Sunday school and searching for Carl and me being lost in the woods, so many stories I could share. A wonderful friend to my mother. Always an encouraging word for you as my wife and son soon found out what I always had as part of knowing her.Of course she will be missed. Darlene,Carl and Jeff my prayers go out to you.As your friend, a brother we're here for you.The foundation was laid for us a long time ago.All we have to do is maintain it and try to walk in those footsteps. God is good,God bless each of you. Ernest,Zennie &Newman Cosby

I worked with your mother at William Byrd Press and just loved her! While there we remembered that she worked in the cafeteria at Battlefield Park with my aunt , Donnie Hall. I also went to school and rode the school bus with her kids. Sweet family.

"Mom Charlotte" as we affectionately called her was a true inspiration to us; such a wonderful woman of God. She was always there with support and encouragement for us in our early Christian walk. This encouragement continued into the preaching ministry God assigned to us. "Mom Charlotte" would always send encouraging cards, Scriptures and insightful words at just the time we needed them most. We will truly miss her, but her influence will continue through us to others. Family, we extend our love and prayers to you. Rev. Dr. Evans and Rose White
