Dear Mr. Vest, Stephanie, Matt,
Tracy, Jasmine and Little Jeff:



First, I hope I got the children's
names right. Second, when I heard
of Chris' death I was both shocked
and upset. Chris was a wonderful,
caring woman who touched so many
lives. It is my honest belief that
her personality and caring was
passed on to each on everyone of
you. Don't ever forget the many
things that she did to try to make
this world a better place. Matt
and Tracy, those children you are
raising will greatly miss the
comfort of having their Grandmother
with them, however, I know that you
will make sure her memory lives
on. Stephanie, your mother was a
wonderful person. She taught me a
lot more than anybody could ever
realize, and yet, I have never
gotten the chance to thank her.
What I hope you will do is make
sure you carry on her caring, love
and willingness to help ANYBODY in
need. Mr. Vest, while the loss of
your wife is absolutely devastating
to you, I hope that you will
remember the happy times.



My family and I send our deepest
sympathies. Matt, Tracy and
Steph~If you ever need to talk to
anybody, or just need to remember
all of the great memories you
mother has left behind...please get
in touch....talking heals all
wounds...believe me...I know! I
lost my cousin 4 years ago suddenly
and in order for me to be able to
move on...talking was all I did.



Love and God Bless,

Charlie & family,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences in the passing of your loved one, Christine. Charlie, you, believe it or not, were a true God sent person to me. Everytime I saw you at the cemetary visiting Jeff as I was visiting with my husband "Sam" you filled my heart with hope for the future. Hopefully, you will find much encouragement by the support of those who love and care for you. God be with you today and always.

DEAR MR. VEST,

MY DEEPEST SYMPOTHY IS WITH YOU IN
YOUR TIME OF SORROW. KEEP YOUR SELF
AND YOUR FAMILY STRONG AND YOU'LL
GET THROUGH THIS-YET ANOTHER
TERRIBLE LOSS.


TO MATT, TRACY & STEPHANIE,
THE LOSS OF A MOTHER IS A VERY HARD
