To all of the Chatterton Family,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your Mother. She was such a wonderful person and was very special to all of us throughout the years. I knew my entire life and will miss her very much. She had a great sense of humor, was a talented musician, was also very kind and compassionate. My thoughts are with you all and your families during this difficult time.

Jean, and family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of your Mom's passing. She was a great lady, who I wish I got to know sooner. She was a fighter, and is now no longer suffering. She will always be in your hearts, and will be looking down over you. May she rest in peace.
