Charlene was and always will be in our hearts. She helped make the boys the great kids they are. We will never forget her for that. She made us like family from day one. We never could have had a better miracle from above when we found her and we will go to sleep at night knowing that we will always have her watching over us.
Our hearts are with you all in this time of loss.
We will miss you Char.
Love,
Kari, Jordan and Spencer Cantrell

My sincere sympathies to the Craddock and Staab families. Charlene was my babysitter way back when(when I was probably 10 years old!) Now that was a long time ago! LOL! She was always fun! She will be missed by many in our community. Wrap yourselves in all the wonderful memories!

We are all truly blessed to have had Char in our lives. It is not very often that you find a friend and daycare provider that your kids can call Grandma. She was one in a million and will always have a place in our hearts. We will miss her more than words can say. Jerry, Chris and family, and Jeremy and family--You are all in out thoughts and our prayers. Love, Jim Jen Josh and Jace Rake
