Upon joining the Grace Chior Charlene took me as a newbie to singing alto. She loved to sing her praises to the Lord!
In the early days she would be faithful to bring her grandkids whenever she was there. She was very loyal to her family. I´m going to miss her smiles n laughter and her Spirit of Jesus that she shared!
