Tina,
I am so sorry to hear about mom Charlene’s passing. She was so sweet and funny. I used to love making her laugh when we heard the song Jolene by Dolly and I used to change the words to Charlene, she used to get so tickled and just smile and say mom loves you! We had a lot of good times, and a lot of great memories that I will always cherish. If you need anything I am here. Love you always TT
Love, Trish
