Dear Family of Chet,
I am so sorry to have missed the news of Chet’s passing until yesterday. I would have liked to attend the graveside service last week. My parents, John and Margaret were neighbors for many years to Clara and Chet. I remember them both fondly.
Dad, until he moved to assisted living, was in regular contact and we always marvelled at how Chet handled his debilitating illnesses and kept going. We also enjoyed seeing which new car he brought home!
I will pray for the repose of Chet’s soul, as will Dad, and we will keep you in our prayers at this time of mourning. May God bless you with His peace and consolation.
I do not hove your address, so it was necessary to write on this website to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Mimi
