I remember going to Charlene's 13th Birthday Party. I remember watching her as she became a cheerleader. She was so pretty and I envied her. We were friends all the way through school. We saw each other many times after that.

Condolences to Charlene's family. I met Charlene in Miss Daisy's first grade class at Bidwell-Porter school 77 years ago this month. We were very good friends and kept in touch all this time. I will see you in again in Heaven Charlene.
