It was 1984 when we met. Instantly, you, Carm3la and I became friends, really close friends. It was not enough that we saw each other on school days; we spent our weekends together, too.

Our fondest memories of our times together will always be cherished. We joined school contests together, we sang in school presentations while Carm3la danced. The three of us were our teachers’ favorites because we were always on the honor roll. Do you still remember how much you hated it when I teased you for being a big fan of Menudo while I loved Duran Duran?

Oh, Chet, I am so sorry for not keeping in touch. The last time I touched based with your family was through your Dad. It was a brief long distance call. It was just last Thursday. I called to let Tito and Tita know that you will be missed.

Tito shared that you were blessed with a loving husband and three beautiful kids. You would have been a Fellow next year after a successful Internship. But you left so soon. And only God knows why. Rest in peace, Charl3ne.

XOXO,
Christine
