Dearest Garrett Family, I am so sorry to hear of Charlotte's passing and please know that she will surely be missed by all that knew her. She was a very dedicated and devoted Busdriver for this county for many years and will surely be missed by many a driver in Dinwiddie.Know that she is now in heaven and that there is a new angel up there on our side,thing is she is probably up there driving a shiny new bus.
