I love you Auntie and I thank GOD for your life! You were an upstanding citizen and a great example of strength. GOD blessed us to have you for 87 years on this earth. You have finished your course and now you can rest in peace. I appreciate the love, the knowledge and the wisdom that you have passed on to me throughout my life and others. You will be missed. GOD said that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." I pray that our family and friends can find peace in knowing that you lived your life well and GOD will not put more on us than we can bare. I find peace in knowing that GOD told you "well done my good and faithful servant." Rest In Peace Aunt Chestnut! I love you dearly!!!
~Love Always Twin and the Entire Moore Family~
