Charmaine was quite an incredible person. I had the good fortune to be her manager for about three years, and her friend ever since. She was amazingly effective and focused as a manager, and led her team with insight and aplomb. As a person, she was even more. I remember when she was pregnant with Bailee and going through the worry, excitement, and wonder of the process. We had many talks about parenting, and Shelley (my wife) and I were super excited when Bailee came to the world. We were able to relive our own joy at having children through Charmaine's eyes. She was a devoted mother, and of course a great force in the lives of her family and everyone that knew her. I'm devastated by her loss, and I can only imagine what the family is experiencing. My heart goes out to you all, especially Bailee. I will always treasure my friendship with Charmaine. She will be in my heart forever.
Heaven gained a sweet and beautiful angel. It's been almost two weeks and I'm still processing your passing. You will forever be missed Charmaine. May peace and strength shower your entire family. Joy Tomas

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. To be absent in the body is to be present with God. "Charmaine, your child will rise up and call you blessed. Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all"[Proverbs 31]. - Love, Da'Shaun (aka Boom, #1842)
Charmaine, although deeply saddened by your transition, I'm grateful for having met you and for you gracing me with your presence as we hung out in Florida during one of our Management Academy sessions. Sharing strategies of how to complete our mission within the Management Academy, introducing me to your Mentor, laughing over drinks and sharing our memories of family. Such a beautiful smile and warm soul, thanks for the time we shared together. See you on the other side, my beautiful sister. Love you!!! #1842. Karyette Simmons
