Hello Barbara,
I was a friend of Charlene when she lived in Brookhaven on Long Island in the 80's our boys were friends. I have tried in the past to reconnect with Charlene but never found her. I am so sad to now find she has passed on. She was such a lovely spirit and we had many long talks about her experience in Somalia and the horrific acts of female circumcision and the conditions of her imprisonment. I know she dreamed of writing about this experience and to enlighten the world about the plight of women in this culture. I have missed her and wish I had located her. How are her children. The last I knew she had a daughter I think her name was Eva. I am sure you are aware of the beautiful soul wrapped in the exquisite face that was Charlene, I am hard pressed to have ever met a more beautiful woman, inside and out.
I would love to talk with you her friend and hear how she was doing before her death...so hard to know she is beyond. I am Sam Gray if she ever spoke of me my e-mail is samiam@get-wireless.us. I look forward to hearing from you Barbara She would have loved your dedication to her. Love and Light Sam
