Our aunt, Charlys Schulenberg is such a sweet person. She has a great smile, and she shares it with those around her often. She also has a spirit that is undaunted by adversity. She never allows things to get her down. Aunt Charlys is a giver of comfort. You may not even have known that you needed a giver of comfort, but when you leave her home, you know that whether you did or you didn’t, you appreciated the comfort given. You may or may not have been sad, you just may have been tired or weary. Charlys just knew how to make you feel taken care of and blessed, and it’s nice to sit down and be taken care of sometimes. She does that very well. Charlys is a wonderful cook and loves to do so. Her area of expertise is comfort food…what else, and it is delicious.
Charlys always wanted to be a mom, and her children are truly her pride and joy. Tadd, Andi Kay, and Heath have filled her life with blessings, including the seven grandchildren they have given her and Uncle Butch, Savannah, Gage, Sophie, Calen, Christian, Heath, and Ethan. The blessing of children has grown into the blessing of grandchildren, and as we all know, that is the reward for surviving our children. Charlys loves the grandchildren, and she is so proud of the people all of her children and grandchildren are becoming.
Traveling has been a big part of who Charlys and Butch are. They especially love to travel to see the kids who don’t live in Forsyth, Montana, where Charlys and Butch live. The younger boys are in sports, so Charlys and 
Butch love getting to watch them play sometimes. It’s hard having the kids and grandkids live somewhere else, but thankfully for them it isn’t too far away. They enjoy the grandkids so much, so it’s nice to have them close by. Charlys and Butch are two of the sweetest people I know, and I love them both very much. I am so thankful to have them in my life. They are a great blessing to so many people…I know, because I am one of those people. Today is Charlys’ birthday. Happy birthday Charlys and Happy Mother’s Day!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
