In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Cheslie was a classmate with me at Rogers high school She was funny and outgoing.We use to get into the teachers full jar of peanut butter and the teacher would get on to us but we didn't care.When we are cooking in class I still laugh and think what cheslie would say if she was here,She would also have to take food to Kasey.I only knew her for a couple months but it seems like i knew her for years.I was really lucky to be in class with her.During class we talked about Kasey alot she really loved Kasey,she showed of her ring and she talked about the good times she had with him she never said anything about a bad time with him. chelsie i'm so sorry this had to you and your family.My prayers are with you ALL the time and with Kasey Bulter

It comforts me to know Chelsie is with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, this Easter Sunday. Because He lives, she lives. I remember Chelsie's big smile, and when she laughed at me as I was acting a fool at a State tournament in Winfield. I was making them laugh so they would settle down and win the close game. They did! And we took home our first ever championship trophy. Chelsie, you will be missed. Casey, my daughter - and your former Exxtreme teammate also misses you. This parting is temporary. We'll see you in Heaven one day with the others in your family, who also knew Jesus and went to be with Him!
Love and prayers to the surviving family members, friends, present teammates, former teammates and their parents.

I work at Priceville School in the cafeteria. Chelsie came down my lunch line many days and it seemed like she had a smile on her face every one of them. I will be praying for all of you in this time of loss. May God give you comfort as only he can. Chelsie will always be remembered as a fantastic and loving young lady. I am glad I had a chance to meet her and have her touch my life. God bless all of you

We received your letter from heaven above,
and we were sure it was written with all of your love.
You asked us not to be unhappy because you're out of sight,
well, you left so many beautiful memories we guess it's all right.
The day you had to leave us is a day we will never forget.
We all gathered around your bedside knowing who you met.
He picked you up and hugged you and said "I welcome You."
We realized it was over, there was nothing we could do.
He told you he missed you while you were gone,
but that your family would be here later on.
There was much to do, you were part of his plan
and until we all get there we won't understand.
He gave you a list of things to do,
one of them was to watch over the ones who loved you.
For when our day is over, and all our chores are done,
we feel your presence as you said and we think it's kinda fun
When we do think of you, and all those loving years,
we just can't help it, it just brings us to tears.
Crying does relieve some pain,
but it keeps coming back again and again.
We probably wouldn't understand what plan God has for us,
but we can see that you're happy, so his plan we all shall trust.
Although your life is over one thing is for sure,
we do feel you are closer to us then ever before.
You mentioned in your letter of some tough times ahead,
and we know you will be watching with many tears to shed.
May we follow your advice," give to the world, and the world gives to you."
We always trusted your philosophy, so this we know is true.
You told us to find someone in pain and sorrow,
and let them know there's a better tomorrow.
You should be content, your life was worthwhile!
We have many many pictures that make us all smile!
When we see someone feeling sad and low,
we will pick them up and tell them "we love you so."
How did you know that when we have you on our mind
we walk a little slower cause we know you're right behind.
And when our time is over, we know we must die too.
We'll know just where we're going, WE'RE COMING HOME TO YOU!!!
Sorry for the lost of your loved ones. I know God is with you and we are all praying for the families and the friends.
