I was heart broken to see Charlene had passed away. In the course of your life you work with several people some you remember some you don't. I worked with Charlene, for a time as a service rep. That was so many years ago and I don't remember everyone. With Charlene I noticed her name in the paper about a week after she passed. To my amazement, I remember her as though it was yesterday. She had added a beauty to my life I will never forget. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, today and forever.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Dear Family,

Charlene was one of a kind! We have such fun memories of her and Helen and all of thier adventures! Our deepest sympathies to all of you.
