I will miss my friend Char so much. Her wit, her sass, wicked sense of humor and her ability to make everyone feel like family were a few of the things I loved most about her. She was one of my favorite travel buddies. Seeing the world won’t be the same.
May you Rest in Peace Charlene, now you are with Ken. I was honored to have known you while I was your mail carrier for 15 years, I can honestly say that you and Ken were two of my favorite customers. You will be missed by a lot of people judging from all the comments I am seeing. Very sad news but good that you are no longer in pain. Thanks for being such a sweet person Charlene.
I miss you Char! So many fun things we did together! I miss your smile and your fun spirit! You were always up for anything. I could barely get stuff out of my mouth and you were saying yes. I loved your willingness to go and do and see and enjoy! I know how much you missed Ken and I am thankful you are together again and thankful you are at peace. God gained a beautiful Angel and you left a big hole in our hearts here, but one day we will see each other again. Fly with the Angels. Dance with Ken. I love you and miss you. π
In loving memory of you dear friend. I will truly miss our frequent conversations. RIP!
Momma Char was a fighter and loved deeply. She was funny and did not suffer fools. I’m grateful to have been close with Ken and Char. Vacations with them was always a blast. Char, you will be missed. Enjoy your margaritas with Ken in heaven.
I will miss you Char so much. Your infectious smile, fantastic sense of humor and such a bright spirit. I love you Char and take comfort that you are out of pain and in the love of your life’s arms in heaven. You will never be forgotten.
I so wish we could have done this every year. You were so damn sweet. We had many similar experiences. Loved the conversations with the wine. You said you loved Napoleans (and how well the went with our white wines and conversations.) You will be missed but always with a smile on my face to match yours. Thank You for being the way you are and the connection you showed to me.
