Phillip--Joyce--Shea--and family----you are all in my thoughts and prayers. The Chancey I knew and remember was kind, fun loving, and full of life. I pray that these are the things that you remember.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this time of loss. Chancey was a great kid and he visited my desk several times a day to chit-chat. He took care of my yard along with the other yards he kept up with. His deer jerky was the best! I will truly miss him and will think about all of you often.

Dear Smith Family,
My personal experience with Chancey was one of true friendship. He was there for me and helped me out at a time (abt 10 years ago) when I needed it the most. I only wish I could have returned the favor in his time of need. My heart is with you all and I am very sorry for your loss.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." During this time may the Smith family find a peace from God our Father.
