Charlotte was a very friendly, classy, educated, and one-of-a-kind lady with an unimaginable zest for life, worthy of the utmost respect.

We will be looking for that bright new star during those clear dark nights.

We will remember her with a smile on our faces and lots of love.

My daughter Tandy is married to Steve.
I was amazed by Charlotte's zest for life, whether it be work, language,travel,attention to detail or family. She was truly a woman ahead of her time. I see many of those qualities in Steve.
I spent several days with Charlotte in her home in Anaheim. She was a fabulous tour guide. Her knowledge of CA flora was impressive. We did her tour of the Chrystal Cathedral and even had her meat loaf surprise! Lovely memory.I feel blessed to have known her and know she will be deeply missed by her children and grandchildren.My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Charlotte and I go back to 1947, when we worked in NYC. We had lots of great times together. We renewed our friendship when Charlotte visited her son here in Florida and I visted with her in Calfornia. Charlotte was very proud of her boys . She kept me going to museums, etc. when we were together. I was disappointed that she could not come to Florida these last years.

She will be missed by all.

Losing Charlotte is a huge loss in my life. Practically growing up with the Baerst family, she was like a mom to me. I had the good fortune to share the past 4 decades of my life with her being a strong influence and constant support. I've created a CHARLOTTE BAERST MEMORIAL page under my website www.TonysTreehouse.org with many of her photos and stories of her dedication. Her involvement with Tonys Treehouse was unwavering. Charlotte you were a faithful friend and teacher of many life lessons. Thank you for all the time, energy and love you gave to me, Danny and Tony. You will always be loved and never forgotten. Steve and Andy, my heart is with you always and I wish you peace.

Charlotte amazed us with her energy and love of life. We were sorry to hear she decided she had enough of life here on earth. We will miss her very much. Our sympathy goes to Andy and Steve and their families

Charlotte was a vivacious, exuberant, and thoughtful mother-in-law. She was a wonderful mother to my husband, Andy, and a generous and involved grandmother to my girls, Kyra and Kacey. Her love of the arts and her active mind and body left me awestruck. She is a role-model of independence and life-long learning to all of us women that follow her. Her presence in our day-to-day lives is missed.

Rest in peace until we meet again, Grandma Char!
