I just heard the sad news of 's passing.

I was very active in HB's Rurouni Kenshin fan community in 2003-2005 and got to know HB as a kind, smart, and funny person who will be dearly missed by all those whose lives she touched. I miss her dearly, despite not having talked with her for many many months.

Please visit [link] and consider making a donation to a scholarship fund which is being set up in her honor.

So long, Charlene. We will NEVER forget you. <3
