To Charlene: You were a great human being, I always enjoyed our conversations together during choir practice, and you always looked fabulous in all the jewelry you wore. May God Bless you as you enter his eternal Kingdom. You will forever be missed by the Langley Chapel 1015 choir.
I send my deepest condolences to you Chuck and the rest of your family during this period of mourning.
Yours Truly,
Edward Taylor

Mr. Shidisky,
I would like to extend my condolences to you and your family. I want you to know that I looked up to Charlene as an invaluable mentor, and remembered that she never gave up on any of us that she met in CAP. This has helped shape my life, and she has my thanks. My prayers are with you.
