Thank you so much for choosing to have the webcast of the service for Charlene. I am Charlene's second cousin (my mother was a Becker/Heisey), but the way I really knew Charlene was that we were the same age and we both went to Warwick. I stayed overnight at the Diffenbach home a few times when Charlene and I were teens. For years, some of us who graduated in the same class would get together for talking and food. Then I went overseas in missionary service in 1979. When I came home in 1987, our little group got together again one more time. But then I lost touch with everyone when I moved to Virginia in 1992. The next time I saw Charlene was about seventeen years ago. A friend and I were selling fragrant salts at an outdoor market in Northern Virginia. I glanced up and standing there were Charlene and Earl! What a delightful, unexpected surprise! Of course, we chatted for a while. I reconnected again with Charlene several years ago thru Facebook. I always expected to see her again during one of my visits back to Pennsylvania. Sheryl, the memorial you gave at the service was beautiful and touching. I saw your mother's face and mannerisms in you. You summed up very well Charlene's personality, sense of humor, dedication to family, integrity, and faith. Thank you. How grateful I am that Charlene knew Jesus as her Savior and Lord. We will be with her again. This life is oh, so short compared to the forever that is eternal life.
