I got to know Charlene 2 summers ago. When her and Luc were always outside doing some yard work. I showed her our house and the photo albumn of what we all did to the house. She was a very thoughtful and considerate person. She was just a great person to get to know. I will miss seeing her outside. - Posted by: Roselyn Bremaud (Neighbour) on: Nov 01, 2012

Met Charlene only briefly this summer. Her personality was like a lighthouse, standing strong, tall for all to see and rays of light stretching far and wide, for all to touch with her warmth and glow. Now the beacon has dimmed but will never vanish. Bon Voyage Charlene....may the light be your guide. - Posted by: Trevor Chewka (Passing Acquaintance) on: Oct 31, 2012

I worked with Charlene at the La Broquerie Golf Course many years ago around the time her and Luc were married. She was such a bubbly person and a beautiful person inside and out. She cared about everybody and she always had a smile for everyone. To this day I can still see her smile and hear her infectious laughter. There was no way that you could be in a bad mood around Charlene, all you had to do was hear her laugh and you forgot what you were in a bad mood about. My deepest sympathies to Luc and Reyanne and all of Charlene and Luc's family. It is such a tragic loss and my heart goes out to all of you. She will always be remembered with a smile. - Posted by: Jo-Anne Perreault (past co-worker of Charlene's) on: Oct 30, 2012
