George and Chryssa,

I was so saddened to hear of your mother's passing. She was like a sister to my mother, and my childhood was filled with so many fun memories of your mother. She was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever known, and even when I saw her last some years ago, she had a style all of her own! My children also grew up knowing her, and whenever I would visit with them in Dayton, she would shower them with too many gifts, or take my daughter out to get her makeup done. They will all be sad, as is my wife, to hear of your loss. While cliche I know, I am a better person for having known her, as well as your incredibly kind and thoughtful father. With parents like the two of them, it is no wonder you have been the successes that you are. They were so proud of you, and their grandchildren. With love, Dek

We were so sad to hear of the passing of Charlene, someone we knew for so many years. We're sorry we couldn't pay our respects in person. Her beautiful smile and the warm friendship she shared with my mom are not to be forgotten. To George and Chryssa and families, may the beautiful memories of your mom sustain you now as you move through this time of learning how to go on without her. Our mom, the most precious of all losses. May her memory be eternal!

The Miami Valley Trial Lawyers Association salutes Charlene Nicholas. Charlene was a wonderful, helpful, terrifically talented stenographer serving area Courts and the members of the Dayton Bar for many years. As young lawyers so many of us remember her patience, support and instruction as we set out in civil litigation often against far more experienced attorneys. She will be long remember in grateful appreciation for her excellence, and the outstanding, compassionate support she gave the legal community. One of a kind.

I am so sad to just hear about Charlene. Charlene taught me how to knit many years ago. I worked at Elan and met here there. I was a court transcriotiinist for Linda Rspier and we had many talks about the business. She was extremely proud of her children and spoke of them often. She was a very special woman. I am so sorry for the families loss.

My 2nd Mom, oh how I will miss thee,
But I know Nick is there, to greet and see.
