Aunt Charlene was a wonderful person. I miss talking to her whenever she would call my mother Melba. They are together now in heaven and I know all of her loved ones were waiting for her with open arms. I love you Aunt Charlene.

At times like these one never knows just what to say other than I'm so sorry for your loss. What wonderful memories we have to cherish of this awesome woman. She was the mother figure of Atterberry's for all those years, working for the family was such a honor. Where a deeply personal friendship was formed for many years to come. May God welcome Mrs. A home where He has prepared her place in the Kingdom of Heaven. Dorothy Hebert
