Even though it has been years since I last saw or spoke to Charlene, how saddened I was when I heard the news of her passing. Charlene was a classmate and a fellow instrumentalist in band and orchestra during our days at Pennridge. Charlene was one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever known and I always enjoyed and will never forget our conversations during our HS days. It was a privilege an honor to have known Charlene and I send my prayers and condolences to all of Charlene's family and friends. Always keep your memories of Charlene close to your heart and she will always be with you. There's no doubt heaven has gained an angel. Rest in peace Charlene! You will be missed.

JT and Steph,
My friends, I am so sorry about your loss. I remember the stories you both would tell about Charlene. When telling those stories, smiles would always light up on your faces. Keep telling them and she will never be forgotten.
Call me anytime.

Holly and Stephanie,
I know first hand the sadness of losing your mother at an early age. I also know that your mother was a strong, loving, and fun person, and I am sure that you have learned from her. Your mother will live on in who you become, and while times ahead will not always be easy, I am sure you will have the strength to overcome any obstacles and live as happy, compassionate women. Please feel free to contact me if you ever need someone to talk to.

Our deepest sympathies on your loss. Cheryleen and I were on at 151 today and tried to pay our respects at the church but had to respond on calls during that time. Take care.

Charlene and I worked together at Bucks. While saddened by her passing, I am in awe of her bravery in fighting her disease. She now resides in peace, but I'm so sorry she had to go so soon.
