So sad to hear that Charleen had passed away. As a first year teacher at Mossburn School in 1978, I had the pleasure to teach Charleen as a J2 student. Many lovely memories of a happy little blonde girl.
Condolences to her family and friends.

Charleen was a childhood friend of mine at Mossburn Primary and I have such great memories of her. I will always remember being partnered with Charleen at hockey practice and being absolutely terrified because she hit the ball so hard.
I am so sorry to hear of her passing, my deep felt condolences to her family.
