CharlesEtta was my Buddy. We had a close relationship and worked for 10 years or so but I knew her for 15 years. We laughed and worked hard together for Dr. Patel at CCSA, I miss her everyday and think of her daily. I always thought of her as family and my heart hurts with pain that she is gone. But I know she is with our Lord and no longer in pain, CharlesEtta you have touched my heart like no other. I will miss you but I know we will meet again in Heaven where we will continue laugh and carry on like before. You were a Social Butterfly 🦋 and you had a smile like Sunshine. That why I called you Sunny. Take care my Friend. I love you. Until we meet again. 💗💗
May the peace of the Lord be with you “Charlesy”. Now you and Joley behave in heaven!
Bless her soul. She was a very kindhearted and genuine person.
I worked with CharlesEtta at my first job out if nursing school 20 years ago. She taught me how to really connect with our patients and I’ve considered her a friend ever since. She will be greatly missed by her CCSA family and patients.
On behalf of the William and Kizzie Byrd family, including sons, Vashon and Tyrone, I would like to express our deep sympathy to the McVea family. We grew up as nearby neighbors ,and Vashon, my deceased brother, was close to all of the siblings and her.
God bless.
Thanks Charlesetta for all the wonderful years that you shared with us all at CCSA – I’m glad that you are pain free and whole again and blessings that you are in Heaven. Thank you. Love, Melodyâ¤ï¸ðŸ˜¢
