To Patti, Jill and Brett & families: I am so sorry for the loss of Chester and grieve with you. I will miss him always. Because of health issues, I was unable to attend the services, and I felt badly about that. I'm sure you all understand though, and that I will be with you in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure Chester is in a better place, with no pain, up in heaven, with his dad and family. M y love to all of you in this time of sorrow.

My deepest sympathy to Patti and the rest of the family.. Chester was so much fun always a joke and a smile for everyone. I will always remember him on the riding mower at APL smiling and a big wave. He was so awesome.. So many of us will miss you so much. Thank you so much for being a part of our lives we were the lucky ones. May you forever be in the arms of the Angels.
