  1. They created a strand for her called Charlotte’s Web I remember hearing about this child 10 years ago

    1. @Hildebeast Clinton you obviously have no respect for the grief of others. Everything is about politics and hate for you. Karma Will get you in due time though.

    2. @Hildebeast Clinton you sociopathic menace to society. Instead of spreading hate all your sorry pathetic life. Why don’t you seek some kind of counseling, and help to make the world a better place?

  2. In a world of hatred, and division we are reminded every once in a while of the beauty, and frailty of life. This little angel, whose short life helped open the door for relief for so many is now resting in the arms of God. She has earned her permanent reward, and will be forever remembered. May we all emulate her joy, and happiness that never faltered to the end.

    1. I have seen many very bad things in my life. I have known a lot of sadness, and suffering, but for a man to find amusement in the death, and suffering of a child is one of the lowest things I have seen. This man represents what is wrong with this country.

  3. The death of a child is always awful, but with Charlotte , who we’ve got to know over the past few years, who have followed her story and been hoping beyond hope that she’d recover, it feels like a very personal loss. We cry for you Charlotte, but we celebrate your life and thank you for your smile, your bravery and know the world is a better place for your being in it.

  4. “Charlotte’s life ended, just as it began…in her mother’s arms…”

    I. WAS. NOT. PACKED. FOR. THIS. FEELS TRIP!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  5. “Your life was a blessing, your memory is a treasure, you’re loved beyond words and missed beyond measure”
    May she rest in peace

  6. CBD and THC got me through chemotherapy and a bunch of other miserable health outcomes. This needs to be legal as a medicine everywhere.

    1. @KEY key all medicines have side effects. google ” hydroxychloroqine coronavirus scientific studies”. If you know biology, then you can even read those studies, otherwise they will just go over your head, and then some idiot will misguide you on the internet with false information.

    2. It does not cure cancer but it allows you to complete treatments with a lesser level of symptoms (nausea, pain, appetite, depressions). I am not saying it cures. It allows for a better quality of life during treatment.

    3. @tyler b Thank you for sharing your story/experience. I am glad CBD has brought you comfort in your difficult treatment. Keep on keeping on! I wish you the best.

  7. She is gone but not forgotten. She did more in her life for the world than most ever will dream of.

    1. A young lady died. Please try not to be to vile. If you don’t know about her story please inform yourself. Her story is readily available on YouTube.

  8. As a teen grower looking to get into the cannabis cultivation industry/Extracts Being able to grow helped not only give me a future to follow but a way to help my mom’s ovarian cancer. As we speak she’s on the front lines of this covid 19 epidemic 35 min from Chicago I’m worried sick but this plant gave her the chance to help many. I really appreciate this little girl tho I’m so sorry 😔

    1. Post these recent studies, as for the food blame the meats like pork and I am also taking about technology and microwaves etc. There would be significant damage reported but it hasn’t been any. I’m sure anything abused will mess up your DNA

  9. Oh, that is so sad – my first thought on the thumbnail was that she looked like the coolest flapper girl!

  10. It’s her who made it possible for me to treat my mental Illness without the being stigmatized and labeled as a criminal. Thank you Charlotte, Rest in peace.

    1. @Massiga Diacko I just noticed that sorry I should have noticed sooner and not to split hairs yes brains can grow but not a whole one lol

    2. @Massiga Diacko but really I am very sorry and very embarrassed so please know my deepest regret

  11. RIP little one.
    At 34 years old I know you are absolutely way stronger then me.
    You inspire me little one.

  12. The little one’s always hit our hearts hardest. Rest peacefully, and our thoughts are with her family and friends. 😢

    1. P J The suffering that goes on in this world breaks my heart. RIP little one. Prayers and thoughts with your family.

  13. God bless everyone one with Sicknesses Please protect my Wife Lord that suffers from the same disease and Rest in Peace Charlotte Gods Angel🙏❤👸

  14. My mom has Alzheimer’s. I got her on CBD and it changed her (and my) life. Before CBD she couldn’t stop pacing, she couldn’t eat, she couldn’t sleep, she was always agitated, she would have crying jags, she would ceaselessly wander. Now she’s calm, she smiles and laughs, she has an appetite again, she sleeps. Even though she has this terrible disease her quality of life improved beyond measure. Thank you Charlotte for the truth you brought to the world. And Dr. Gupta you seem to be losing a lot of friends right now to this terrible pandemic. Sending you love and peace and hoping the best of health and life for everyone.

    1. Jessica Margaret Dean I’m a medical marijuana patient and I personally think CBD is like a miracle cure… It has so many different uses..
