I loved how welcoming Ms Charlene was any time I wanted to visit with her. She was so wise and had such a sense of self. I hope someday to have that same atmosphere of content around me and my household. Peace be with her and her family during this time.

Many knew her as The Fish Lady for decades. She was a great friend to our family, in many ways like a grandma to our children, always loving, giving and sharing a little bit of what she had with family. We had such a good relationship I called her Charlie
Brown, whether talking on the phone or in person, as soon as I would ask her "How are you Charlie Brown" she would always give me a big smile and say, thank the good lord for another day. Back in the day, her pecan pies and soul food cooking was like none
other. We would talk many times about her shooting for 100. Well Charlie, you almost made it, thank you for 99 and 1/3. We'll miss you Charlie Brown. May the Holy Spirit comfort the family during their loss.
