Online Condolences From: Judy Parsons   Mustang Relationship:  work associate There is no sweeter lady on earth than Charline. Her charm and grace was evident to all who came in contact with her. Her quiet spirit and work ethic served as a model of perfection to all who knew her. I had the honor of teaching with her at Mustang Elementary in the 80's. Then, when she retired, I moved into her room. My prayer each day was that I would be as gracious to the children as she always was. Heaven has gained a champion. The separation is temporary, but the reunion is eternal. May our gracious God cover you with His peace and comfort today and in the days that follow. Sent:  3/2/2010 From: Myrt & J.C.
