Our thoughts and prayers are with Jay and Charlene’s whole family. As Larry and I both worked with Charlene for many years we can say she was a very strong woman. We have many of great memories with Charlene. Just one memory was when our daughter was born Charlene came over and at 6 weeks our daughter would sleep little and be awake-Charlene told me she was hungry and w she went and got some rice cereal we put it in her bottle and that was the answer. Thank you Charlene. Many more memories on the sewers and out of work. I’m sure you are all blessed with many more memories. Whole them close to your hearts and find comfort in them all. God be with you all during this time and beyond. RIP 🙏❤️
