Guestbook

  1. Words can not express the grief I feel for my best friend. She was kind, thoughtful, generous and loving. The very best person I’ve ever known. I am grateful for for friendship and will feel her loss every day.

  2. I am so sorry for your family’s loss. I have wonderful memories of Charlene as students at (back then) Edinboro State College. She was always a warm, caring and fun person to be around.

  3. The Paws Hand Delivered therapy dogs visiting at Meadville Medical Center loved the attention they always received from Charlene and the special treats she always carried in her pocket when she knew the therapy dogs would be visiting at the hospital. She was truly a dog lover and will always be remembered by the dog handlers who enjoyed talking with her.
