Mickey, Cindy and family, Our hearts are saddened for each of you in the loss of Chester. He was a good man and a man of few words. We all could stand to live by his example of few words sometimes and just live in the moment and listen with our hearts to what God is saying. We know this is hard but something we all must face. I can just picture that big ole smile upon Poppy's face as he entered the gates of Heaven. What glory and confort that can give you to know he is smiling upon you and waiting for the day you can join him. We know he will be deeply missed. May God bless each of you and cradle you with comfort during this sad time. We love you all and if you need us, we are only a phone call away. ~ Janet & Kenneth
