I was blessed to have such a wonderful sister as you in my life.Given the age difference of nearly twenty years ,you were more like a mother to me,after the death of our dear mother.I thank you for that,and appreciate everything you have done for me.
My deepest condolences to Chasteen’s family. She was always so kind to me. I remember the good ole days when we bowled together. May you find peace in your hearts in the passing days, for she will forever live there. God bless each of you and comfort you in his loving arms.
