Charlene Jean Ode

Char and I were first friends in grade school. We drifted apart after high school as I moved away first to Chicago, then Seattle and finally Portland, OR. We reconnected on a trip I made back to Aurora when we were probably in late 50s. We kept in email contact sporadically and those messages were always special--caring, catching me up with our classmates, and telling wonderful family stories. She valued you all so much. I will miss our casual but meaningful interchanges. Please take care and...

To Charlene´s family- We are so sorry to learn of your mother´s passing. She was always so kind to us. She, Judy, and Tom´s mom, Jean, always shared so many fun times together. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! Tom and Pam Van Boekel

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
