I am in disbelief to hear and saddened of the passing of Char. Char and I lived next door to each other when we were very young. When I was 7, Charlene would have been 6, my family and I moved away. We still kept in touch off and on through the years. We had lost touch for some time and I then found Char on Instagram. We started talking and exchanged phone numbers. We had planned to meet up awhile back but it just didn’t work out. Then in July of 2020 we finally were able to go for dinner. We spent a couple hours reminiscing about our families, happy and sad things that had happened through our adult years, what we were up to vowed to keep in touch. As we left, I took a picture of the two of us and we vowed to keep in touch. Since then we have texted a few times and we’re planning to have a get together once COVID made it possible. I send my condolences to Char’s family, may you all know that she spoke very highly of her family and told me how important her family was to her. Sharon Craveiro (Michaluk)

On Behalf of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP) extending our deepest sympathy to the Petrash family on Charlene's sudden passing! Charlene appreciated (and spoke highly) of her long term relationship with Val Dunphy and her role at The Kidney Foundation. I valued & respected her keen interest in increasing her knowledge as a fundraising professional in charitable gift planning. Charlene will be deeply missed by all who knew her in the not for profit sector. RIP Lynda Ruban CAGP Manitoba Chapter, Membership Chair

I am deeply saddened to hear of Charlene's passing. She has been taken from her family way too early for this lifetime. I believe she still had work to do. Charlene was a kind and loving person with an infectious smile. We worked together at Lions Manor and she was an amazing event planner and gifted fundraiser. Thoughts and prayers to her family and those hearts that she has left behind. God bless Janice Lane

Deepest Sympathies to all of Charlene's sisters and brothers. We are deeply saddened by Charlene's sudden passing and so unexpected, she was way too young, the good Lord must have needed another Christmas Angel. To the family, may it comfort you to know that we all are thinking of you during this very difficult time.
