Dear Helen and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Charlene's passing. I know that the two of you are very close and she will be greatly missed. I will always will remember the joy of her laughter even when we were working so hard.
I will always be grateful to both of you for talking me "into" adopting Flag. He was a joy for our family and lived to be 17.
Please know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear family,
Such a shock. Charlene was such a cheerful, and inspiring person. She would always ask how we were doing
and never complained about her problems. Her family was everything
to her: Kristen, Marc, Brittany and Ciara, her sister Helen.
She was a such an Angel.

I've worked with Charlene for almost 7 years at CSG. She endeared herself to me forever on my first day with her welcoming warmth. Her calm professionalism was an inspiration to me. I will miss her and all the flowers we had shared in the office. She was a woman to be proud of. My condolences to her family.
