Carlene has always been a great friend. Some of my earliest memories are of the two of us sitting in the swing next to her and George’s garden talking about blue berries. I always felt that she and I had a special connection. I will never forget you Carlene.
I look forward to the day that we see each other again in Heaven.
Your friend,
-Joshua

Carlene was a wonderful friend to my mom, Ruth Newman, and to
my sister, Carol, and me over the years. She was always upbeat
and kind, a woman of faith. Prayers for all of us who mourn her
loss, and praise to the Lord for His promise to reunite us all in His
forever home.

Aunt Carlene, I had no idea that you had passed away until just recently when I started working on the family tree. I only met you a few times when I was a kid but I remember you well. May you rest in peace!
