Dear Family,
Mr & Mrs Goodwin were my customers when I was the branch manager at the bank in Maumelle Arkansas. Mr. Goodwin brought us cookies during the holidays and always made our day.

Prayers, Sheryl

What a lovely man Chester was. I have known him, through my brother and sister, since I was just five years old. A kind and gentle soul, he is now at rest with his beloved wife. His was a life well lived. My blessings to his family.

Britt and I send our thought and prayers to you and family in the loss of your father. I have wonderful memories of him and your mom. Such a kind and caring man he was, a true gentleman. I can still see and hear him explaining how to drive a stick shift in the column! Britt and Becky Wimberly

Lisa, You and your Dad were so thoughtful during my Mom's last days. He lived his life as a true example of his Christian faith and he will be missed.

Dear Lisa & Family

Dear Lisa and family, I send you my sympathy and prayers on the loss of your father. Chester and Jean were such a wonderful and loving couple. Chester carried on without her in a graceful and peaceful life, always thinking of others. He was an inspiration to me and a dear friend. I will miss his sweet smile each Sunday at church. In Christian Love, Mary Ellen Furr
