I am deeply sadden and shocked at the passing of Chelsea. I met her at my son's wedding, as John Yeager was Best Man. She was quiet and very friendly and I knew by looking at them together they were very much in Love..I have known John since he was 5 years old, being the friend and class mate of my son Zachary Adams. John ask me to dance that day because he said Chelsea could not dance and she smiled looking at him. My heart truly breaks thinking of them and I hope that time will heal his sorrow and he can find happiness through his children. Love, Ms Joyce Adams and Jessica from Baltimore, MD>

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. Right now when your pain is so fresh, it may be difficult to imagine that it will ever go away. But please know that in time the blessings of God's unfailing love will soften the hurt that you are feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort, and hope that it needs to heal. (Isaiah 61:1, 2)

I met Chelsea in her freshman year at Syracuse when she and Naomi became friends. She was always a "star"-kind, sweet, caring and loving. I think of her beautiful smile and joy for life. She will be missed but never forgotten.
