    I attended First Assembly of God in Columbia in the early 2000’s and remember Charlene’s kindness and enthusiasm. She spoke to the congregation once to encourage us to read our Bibles on a regular basis. I also remember her being an advocate/ ombudsman for an elderly person. She always dressed beautifully and made a good impression, a true lady. I also remember her parents, to whom she was devoted. They are reunited now. Condolences to the family, peace and comfort.
