My dear cousin meant so much to me over so many years. Helping me try to take care of my mother, Charlie was pretty much my second mother. Staying with me by phone when our Phil was dying and at so many difficult times, her wonderful humor kept me vertical. She is now and ever will be sorely missed by my children and me.
Charlena was a friend and neighbor, we took care of eachother and our pets when we traveled. We spent a lot of time together, that is something I have missed. We kept each other grounded, even as the tides of life shifted. We had fun together, never a dull moment.
She has left me with a treasure chest of memories and laughter.
Friends like her are forever, you might lose them but you'll never forget them. May she rest in peace. ❤️
