  1. Ernestine Lonzo says:

    I offer my deepest sympathy to the family of Charlene. She was such a person so full of life. Gain comfort in all of the fun, happy memories you had with her. Also remember the Bible as a source of comfort

    2 Corinthian 1:3,4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort…

    Psalm 46: 1 God is a refuge and strenth a help that is readily to be found during distresses

    Acts24: 15 and I hope toward God, which these {men} themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the righteous

  2. J. Mark Vandivort says:

    Charlene was unusually gifted. She was known for her talents in writing and producing plays, skits, and celebrations of all sorts that were beautiful and richly undergirded with Biblical truth. Undoubtedly she also had the gift of hospitality. Louise wrote: Mark and I have never had any better friends, or more loved, than Charlene and C.T. Their loves touched ours in so many ways. J. Mark and Louise Vandivort
