I remember Charlenes“ Love for Christ as well as her Personal Relationship with Jesus was how she lived her Life!
She mentored me as a Young Christian in the area of working in the Nursery and so....much more.
She very much loved her Family!
So....Proud of her son (Ron) our Pastor at the time.
I will forever be grateful for the beautiful memories I have.
