I´m just finding out about your passing .. this is very heartbreaking to me because you were like my mentor, my bestfriend, and a second mother to me. . I remember when we first met.. I was new at Wendy´s. And you took me under your wing and trained me everything I needed to know .. we took the bus together .. we became neighbors ..I got hired at ShopRite and took you with me .. you´ve invited me into your home for dinner. You´ve shown me nothing but kindness and love.. Always told me to keep my mind clear and to remain positive .. told me to always leave things in God´s hand. My heart is broken with this pain .. I don´t know how I can move on knowing your no longer a phone call away.. I will miss you soooooo much ... lord knows I loved you soo much . I appreciate everything you´ve done for me .. I appreciate the hugs you given me when you told me it was okay to let all my tears out .. I appreciate the long talks of advice .. I´m not ready to say goodbye but I know I will see you again .. save a spot up there for me .. I love you Charlene .. please watch over me and your family ..
