Charla Fitzgerald is a dear friend and I will miss her something fierce. She was one of the few people who accepted me for who I am. I loved her way of being honest and blunt, no matter how much the truth hurt she would say it. She was caring and had a big heart, willing to give the shirt off her back if needed. My condolences go out to her entire family. You will be greatly missed.
