Charlene was a gracious hostess, talented gardener, faithful Christian and wonderful mom. She fed me lunch every day during school for three years when Lesa and I came by. She was always laughing and such a positive person. I have so many wonderful memories of her sharing her flowers and kitchen with mom, Pam and with me. We loved to visit Charlene! Family was always first and she was her happiest surrounded by you all. My sympathies to you in your loss of such a wonderful lady.

I'm so sorry to hear of Charlene’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW

We are sorry to hear about your loss we pray that in the days ahead you will be fortified. May these words provide you hope and comfort during this your time of sadness. 1 Corinthians 15:21,22, "For since death came through a man, resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive." Jesus said of himself that he was the resurrection and the life at John 11:25. May God sustain you all during this time as well.
