We first met Charley Renee at JCPENNEY in Holland. It was just a few weeks later when she introduced herself at our monthly PFLAG meeting. She was a gold mine of knowledge and supporter concerning LGBTQ issues. She shared her expertise on transgender issues in many seminars and college classes. Charley Renee opened many hearts and minds to the facts and realities of living ones true identity rather than living a lie.

I feel so blessed to have had Charley in my life! I will always remember our first dance at the Gala, the laughter and deep conversations that we shared on my patio, dinners, sitting at your favorite place on the bluff Lake Michigan, taking me to the family blueberry processing and toasting so many beautiful moments!! It still brings tears to my eyes to hear that you have transitioned… my condolences to your family… Your impact was huge on many of us in the community… And you will be missed 💜🙏🏻
