Pastor Bell, Sydney, Kyndall, Chandra's mother, brothers, sisters, and extended family. I am beyond sorry for your loss. Chandra was my great friend! We worked at BISYS together. My heart is extremely heavy for all that knew and loved her. She was an awesome person! God will help all of us adjust to life without her. I will continue to pray for the family.

May God bless the Bell and Johnson family during this season and always. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Chandra was an amazing OU classmate and friend. We had the best and often times the funniest conversations while on the drive to and from Athens. Her humor, immense sense of class, love for God and her family is something that I will always cherish. I thank God that he allowed our paths to cross. With tears in my eyes, know that I will miss you Chandra. Rest well in heaven my friend.
