Charlene and I worked together at MAIF in the seventies and I have always smiled whenever I think of that time. We lost touch however I have some wonderful memories of her. I looked her up on Facebook to possibly get in touch with her. I am so full of sorrow that she has passed and I regret not keeping in touch. Condolences to Bob and her sweet children. I remember her daughter Erica.

Dear Deacon Bob,
I was so shocked and saddened to receive Kathy's email. Every Mass I have attended and adoration time has been spent praying for Charlene's beautiful soul and your family. The picture that you posted of Charlene is how I will remember her beautiful smile. I will miss seeing her after Mass and listening to her words of wisdom.You both are living witnesses of how God can bring you back to His everlasting love. You both have inspired me for many years!
My heart and prayers are with you and your family as you experience such a great void. May the Holy Spirit comfort you and surround you with His loving care.
