Add A Condolence

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

"Ma Charlotte" was like a mother to me. She was so loving and always had an encouraging word for you. Her love was so genuine and so strong that you were drawn to her. She has spoken so much into my life and the life of my family. I love her like my own mother. Her presence will be severely missed but her love will live on in my heart. We will continue to lift up the family in prayer and avail ourselves to be there for you in whatever capactity is needed.

Mother Sherman always had a kind word or scripture for me. She was always encouraging me. I will miss my Sunday morning "neighbor". I am praying for your family. Please find comfort in knowing that she was a blessing to so many people. Sister Sonya Barnes and family

Love brought Charlotte into this world, love molded her life and love will keep her alive in the hearts and memories of all who knew her. So God's love is proved by His memory of Charlotte too, in every detail. If not one sparrow goes forgotten before God or falls to the ground without His notice, certainly he will not forget the life of this special woman, Charlotte Sherman.Matthew 10:29,31; Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11, 29. My condolences to all Charlotte's children, other family members, and friends as well. Mrs. Manny

What enjoyable times Charlotte and I had as we sat around her kitchen table and talked. We both love Jesus and now she's really with Him. May the family and friends experience the comfort of the Holy Spirit until we see her again. Eva Sutton, Summerfield, Florida.

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

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
