Well where do I start. Char was my mother in-law. More importantly my friend! And what a friend she was! She was always there for me. A smile and hug to help get me through tough times. We spent a lot of Tuesday's together through the years. That was our day to goof around. From stripping the woodwork in her breakfast nook to gardening and cooking. We just renewed the Tuesday goof around day this year again. We'd take drives out in the country and go for short hikes. She so loved the scenery. I'll miss you my friend. We had so much more to do....My heart aches for you. I know that you are now an angel in heaven because you were and angel here with us. 
Love you!

Our condolences and prayers going out to Kurt and Janet and Gary and Michelle. Charlene will be deeply missed.

To my cousins Kurt (Jan) and Gary (Michelle), who really are like my brothers---I love you so much and it's very hard not being there for you at this time. I am glad that I did get there last Thanksgiving and again with her and Tammy in Arizona earlier in the year. My Aunt Char was like a mother to me and I could always count on her to lift my spirits and make me feel better.  Thanksgiving was really our family holiday and we spent hours around the "dining room table". Those are the times that will never be forgotten from childhood to the present. 
Kurt, Gary---I am so sorry for your huge loss over this past year. I love you both more than you will ever know!!!! xoxoxo

My cousin Char was more like a sister to me  her Mom Noury and my Mom Armani were sisters, I loved her so much and will miss her so much.  My husband and I always looked forward to our yearly trip to visit her and Bill we always felt at home. For my husband, it was his pleasure to have know them for 25 years and he loved them as much as I did. Last feb. she got to visit me for a month and we had a wonderful time.  I will miss her positive upbeat nature. She never complained even when she was sick.   I am so sorry for your loss Kurt, Jan, Gary and Michelle.  Love you  Tammy and Wally Glerum, Phoenix Arizona

"Charra, was and will always be one the most kindness genuine loving human being we have ever met!! She will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts forever. Our prayers are with you and your family!                                                                                                                                                                                        Andre and Nancy Richardson Family  (Chicago, ill)

We are so sorry we can't be with you to be surrounded by family that shares your pain is such a gift; but know we are with you in spirit and send much love and many hugs. 
    Your mom was one special lady with the ability to make you feel loved and laugh on any given day.
    We sat around the kitchen table on Thanksgiving night and talked about ' Aunt Char' the kids remembered so much from our holidays together, especially Thanksgivings in Oak Park, Christmas Eves in St. Anne and Kentucky Lake. we will never think lot Char with our hearing her laugh or watch the squirrels
 without a smile for the heart.
     We feel like another of our heart has slipped into heaven. we will miss her
                                          Love, Uncle Mark & Aunt Nicky

What can we say-we will miss her.  We'll miss that smile and when we called it was always"Hi how you guys doing?.  Always thinking about us and not about herself.
Wish we could be with you this week.  We know you are hurting as we are.
We have so many good memories:  going up to Chicago to celebrate your birthdays--your family coming down to Mim's for Christmas and the trips that just "the adults" got to go on.  We have had so much fun with Char when ever we were with her.  She always had a laugh that you couldn't forget.
The only time we ever saw her upset was when we didn't want to bother her--so we ate early and she had supper waiting for us!  We were in trouble!!!
Ed says "the best way to put it is-she's just a sweet heart!"
Thinking of you and love ya
Uncle Ed and Aunt Judy

Sorry on your loss. Wish we could be there with you. Our prayers are with you an your family.

Our entire family (Paladino's, Centracchio's & Anderson's) are truly saddened by the news of Char passing.  We were so fortunate to have Char & Bill (& family) for our neighbors in Chicago.  They were two of the nicest, most down to earth people our family had the opportunity to know.  I can still see Char standing outside her side door as I walked up the driveway & hear her say "hi honey" in a way only Char could with a smile on her face from ear to ear.  My kids would go next door & Char, and many times Bill, would play cards and pool with them, or just sit around the table talking, when I am sure she had a million other things she could be doing. We had so many good times in the back yard & on New Years Eve wearing silly hats!  She will be missed by all that knew her and will always be in our memories & prayers. God Bless Char & the Beaupre family.

Your mom was one of the most beautiful people I meet in my life. She was always positive, cheerful very hospitable and treated me like a brother when I did not know anyone in this country. When I immigrated to this country, her dad, her and Bill made me feel as one of their family members. I am also glad that my wife Pat and I had the opportunity to spend quality time recently when we visited her and Bill, Kurt and Jennie..I will always remember the good times. She will always be that special person in my life, the sister I never had.

We have lost a special person who was the kindest and most considerate woman. She was devoted to family and I respected her very much.  I will miss her and her laughter and her sweetness! God bless you Char.  I will pray for the Beupre family.

Your Mom was the epitome of hospitality and graciousness.  A visit to the Beaupre home was always initiated with a nice visit with Gary's mom and dad in the "breakfast room."  A nicer more inviting person can never be known other than your mom.  Sincerest of condolences.

Even though we only knew Char for a few years, she was always gracious -- including us in family events -- 
and always welcomed us with a smile. We will miss her cheerful way of being.
Love, Skip and Connie

Dear Beaupre Family,
