Charlene was one of my favorite cousins, growing up I always looked up to her. I always thought she was a beautiful person inside and out. As we got older we lost touch with each other (each with a busy family life) which is a sad fact of life. I am so glad that I did get to hug her and talk to her this summer. It meant a lot to me to be able to do that. My prayers of comfort and strength for Sheena and her family and to Gail. I know you will miss her greatly.
Sheena and family, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Love you guys!
Sheena and family, I cannot even begin to tell you how sorry I am about her passing. I also want you to know how much she meant to my family as well. She always had a big hug for me, the girls and BB. Cheyenne and Shelby loved her like she was their own. I have so many fond memories of stories we shared and the love she had for everyone. Lots of love and prayers for you guys. We love you all dearly!
Barry, Sheena and boys,
We are so sorry for your great loss. Just want you to know we will be holding each of you close in heart and prayers.

Sheena, So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. We are glad that we got to know her. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. If there is anything we can do for you please let us know. May God bless each of you during this time of sorrow. with love.
My deepest sympathy for the loss of a wonderful classmate. She was so energetic but the suffering was more than her earthly body could stand. The Lord said, ‘Charlene, I want to stop your suffering. Come and be with me. She will be missed by all who knew her.
My prayers are for the family that you will seek comfort from the Saviour that Charlene knew and loved.
Sheena I am so sorry to hear about your mother I was blessed to see her last week and my prayers are with you and your family. She was a great friend to me and I will truly miss her.
Gail, I was so sorry to learn that your dear friend Charlene passed away after a long battle with her illness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family.
Sheena, Barry and boys, I just learned of Charlene’s passing and am so sorry. I hadn’t talked with Charlene in a few weeks, but I know that she is at peace and ready to be with the Lord whenever he was ready to call her home. Please accept my sincere condolences, and please don’t hesitate to call if there is anything I can do for you. She always kept her smile and great attitude, and was so very very proud of all of you. Will be praying for you. Love, Loretta and Charlie Higdon
