The words I want to say to comfort you all just won't come. I'm still in disbelief that he is gone. So many memories of Chet and that little blonde head. He was the cutest, sweetest, child. You all are so dear to me and my heart is heavy. Know that I love y'all and hate that I can't come tomorrow but definitely will see you later this week. Call me if you need anything or just want to talk. Praying for peace for you.
Love,

It's so shocking to loose someone you grew up with. It's a real eye opener. I am glad Chet is at peace in the loving arms of the Lord. Amanda, you were a wonderful sister, I'm sure he hated to leave y'all. He will be missed.

Our sincere sympathy to this handsome young man's family. We have not met, but Amanda is our daughter, Kristi's dear friend. What we do have in common is the pain of the loss of young sons. No one truly knows that pain unless it has been experienced. I promise to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. If I can help you in any way, please feel free to call me at 318-792-1401.
