Tim, Dallin and Rileigh, A righteous woman left today For her home in heaven far away. Far away, but yet, not far. Through the veil between earth and heaven’s bright star. Loving wife and mother dear, A sister, an aunt, she was to us here. A daughter first and a daughter last, She returns to our Father of future and past. Her legacy of love, her lessons we learned. Her faith beyond measure, homeward she yearned. Awaiting the time, her family will join her, Humbly now, we gather to mourn her. We remember her virtue, her poise and her grace. We remember the kindness that showed in her face. So much like Jesus, our Mother, our Father, Well done, faithful servant, Well done, precious daughter. May Heavenly Father surround you with love, peace, comfort, understanding, strength, endurance, and the knowledge that you will be with Carlene again in Jesus name I pray. Amen. Love, Marla Riley

Carlene was my friend, classmate and neighbor growing up. About 18 years had passed and I ran into her at Saint Patricks Day Festival last year. It was no surprise that she had not changed at all. She was still as beautiful and sweet when we were just kids. She made my heart glow with kindness. I will miss you.

Carlene was such a special friend. She never judged; she always loved; she always made me feel like what I had to say was important. Whether it was a homeless man on the street (Thanks, Kim, for reminding me about this experience from one of our Charleston trips) or one of her precious children, or a coworker,a family member, or a friend, she always had time to share God's love for us and how much He wants us to love each other. I will truly miss her!

LAURA THOMAS , friend

Wish you were here it's such a beautiful place wish you were here nothing but clear sunny days well it never rains and no one complains and we haven't seen a tear we're having a great time wish you were here... This is immediately what came to mind as I read over everyone's postings. This is so fitting and such a reassurance that God is in control and a better place has been prepared. In times like this...we have to rely on God, family and friends. It breaks my heart for the entire family that you're having to experience such a loss. Carlene was a wonderful person. I don't think I ever recall her not being happy and having a smile on her face. Remembering you all in prayer during this very difficult time. God bless you all.

Aaron and I are forever grateful for the strong love Mrs. Carlene shared with Aaron in his early years. Carlene was Aaron's speech therapist for a few years. Her skills as a speech pathologist were extremely helpful to my son, but her heart and soul, which she shared freely with both of us, was the most helpful to him. Without her open and loving personality, I know my son would not have benefited from the therapy as much as he did. This sounds like a cliche, but the world is truly a dimmer place as a result of her loss and I pray for comfort for you, her loved ones.

AARON RAMIREZ AND RHONDA JONES , Former MES patient and his mother

Carlene was so Christ like, she had a presents about her that everyone loved. She was sure to spread sunshine everywhere, with her bright smile, loving character and wonderful outlook on life.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I know she is in Heaven watching over you all.. May God Richly Bless and keep your family.
