Leslie and family, It has been years since I seen Charlene. We lived in dog patch, Jim and virginia madison's youngest daughter. My brother Clark Madison lived in dog patch also. When dad died, Charlene came to Texas with Uncle Bill Riche to see us, She was very special and always happy. God Bless you all.

Charlie brought not only cheer, but also a sincere attitude of caring every day to her job as a cashier. Everyone at EMC loved and appreciated her knowing who they were and her interest in them. Very few people in life have such a positive affect on so many. At EMC we were gifted to have Charlie and we send our prayers to her family and friends.

We were classmates and I shall always remember how cheerful she was. You'll find her "Over the Rainbow Bridge".

My secret is now out--I don't make the cookies or coffee cake. Charlie knew what an "official" cookie was back from when we worked at American Republic and carried that over to EMC. Thank you for sharing Charlie with us. You're in my prayers.

Charlie never missed telling "every person" in her line in the EMC cafeteria "Have a good day!" Her smiling face and positive attitude will be missed greatly! My prayers go out to her family and friends.

I will miss you deeply Aunt Charlene. If I would have known that Friday night was the last time we would see each other for awhile, I would have gotten out of my vehicle and given you a great big hug! Instead, we smiled and went on our ways. Love you and miss you!
