To the Chatman Family,
I wish to extended my deepest condolences to the family on the lost of your beloved husband and father. I will have you in my prayers. I regret not being able to travel back to Washington at this time to attend the services, but you all were in my thoughts. I certainly have a lot of memories with Marie, Cheri, and Andre and times we spent together at Holy Trinity #2 Washington and my late aunt Reba Cheeseboro's home. Take care of each other and God bless.

My prayers to Missionary Bertha Chatman and family. Be encouraged knowing that your loved one is resting in the arms of Jesus. Elder Chatman was truly a man of God. A great preacher and teacher of God's word. Jesus promised that he would never leave us or forsake us. But most of all, he promise the gift of eternal life.

My sympathy and prayers are with you all. Rest in the fact that he is not longer painfully suffering on Earth but has become an angel with my mommy (Jean) up in Heaven. May God ease your pain and keep watch over your spirit.
Peace and Blessings!
