To the Chesky family. I'm sorry for your loss. I will always remember the 4 C's. One year my parents were away for an extended period of time and I ate all my meals there. What great memories I have of Del and Walt.

My heart broke when I heard of Aunt Del's passing. She was SUCH a special lady with an unmatched zest for life! She really did make the most of every moment and I will miss her dearly. My family and I were lucky enough to spend many Christmas Eve's with her....listening to her stories and her wonderful laugh. I will cherish those memories forever. My condolences to her family and friends. She will be deeply missed.

Michael, Denise and Robin,
The passing of your mom is tremendous loss. There was a point in my life when I look at your parents as my second parents, I loved them both dearly and they both will (as well as all of you) will always have a special place in my heart. I'm so very sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. She was a very special woman with a very big heart and it saddens me deep to read about her loss.

Words cannot express the terrible loss I feel with the passing of one of my favorite people on earth , that said I am so happy she was such an important part of my life , from the day I was able to crawl to her very last day. Not one day will pass that I wont think about her, her smile, her cheerful and positive spirit.
