I was shocked to read this. I thought of Charlene out of the blue 9n Sunday afternoon and decided to look her up on Facebook where I learned of her passing. A true God moment.
I worked with Charlene at KVI/Marsh. She kept me on track with her attention to detail and her desire to be helpful.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
