Dear Herb and family,
We are thinking of you and your whole family with love and sympathy.
Charleen was such a good friend from when we first arrived in Ft.Wayne.
She made me feel so welcome as only she could do.
I am so happy she was my P.E.O. sister. So sorry we cannot be with you at the Memorial service but we will be with you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Idora and Don

Dr.Herbert and family: You have my sincere sympathy on Charlene's passing. She was in my sister's class at highschool and we were very close. I alwaysl enjoyed seeing and talking her at the reunions and at her Mother's birthday parties. I am sure you have many happy memories. May God bless you and give you comfort. Sincerely,Minerva Crossin

Dear Herb and family: May I share your grief at the loss of Charleen, whom I first met when we were students at Humboldt High School in the early 1940s? The last time I visited with her was at a school reunion in 1994, and I took a photo of Charleen and Eileen, which I've just looked at and which I treasure. I've always thought of her "in the plural" as The Keller Twins, Charleen and Eileen. What a great privilege it has been to know them both and to count them as friends. How proud you and your family must be to have had such a wonderful wife and mother. sincerely, Dick Thomas, Phoenix, AZ.
