I met Charlene through Family Search in March 2020 when we discovered we were second cousins. Our respective grandparents were brother and sister, Charles Hill and Vivian Hill Holderman. We both had paintings by Charles that had been handed down by our mothers. We both were very familiar with the Holderman residence at 18 Elgin in Alhambra and shared memories going back to the 1940’s and 1950’s. I never met Charlene personally but she came across as warm and caring in her messages. I last heard from her in Dec 2021 when she mentioned that she was almost done with chemo and that she thought they had taken care of the cancer. When I didn’t hear back from her regarding a recent email I sent her I checked her Facebook page and discovered she had died. I’m so sorry for your loss. I was looking forward to meeting her one day but knowing we’re both in our 80’s I knew it had to be sooner than later. I regret that I will never meet her on this earth. Please know that I share in your grief.
