Our sincere condolences to Charlene's family for your loss. Even while remembering and celebrating a life well lived, the special place she held in each of your lives, grief may overwhelm you when you least expect it. Good news you want to share, only to remember she isn't there. I can't imagine life without my Mom, the person who knew you first, loved you most and cheered the loudest. I only knew Charlene through Charles, sending her cookies and cards. She showed her gratitude and love by gifting me with a pair of her earrings years ago. I know she was an amazing woman, as Charles is one of the finest men I know. "For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Rom 14:7-8 The angels are rejoicing, she rests in God's arms and we look forward to when we are reunited with her and our loved ones in heaven. Kimberly & Lois Knoffer
