Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4 “And you know the way where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

May God Bless You! We are praying for the Family. A Friend of Shirley&Trey Chadwell: Cheryl Price

Donnie, Cooper, and Anna,
I wanted you to know how special your wife and mother was. She had a heart like nobody that I knew. One of my favorite memories was Pam sitting on my kitchen floor playing silly putty for the first time with my son. He thought that she was the best aunt ever. Her smile will be in my mind forever. I will always cherish the beautiful memories that I have of my dear friend. Please know that my heart and prayers are with you.
