My deepest sympathy to the Chesney family we were classmates he was a fun person and he really loved the Lord bless his wife and my God son Tomaki in Jesus name
Chesney Family,
We are saddened by the news of our former Beaman St neighbor passing away! We know and rejoice with the family as he is celebrating in his mansion above! We were neighbor’s for so many years, but most of all, we were cherished friends! He even adopted one of our new born Cocker Spaniel puppies to raise. We shared our love of Christ many afternoons sitting at our picnic table in the front yard. Family, please allow our Comforter to hold you up and just know, Bro Chesney, we will see you soon! (Formerly of 527 N. Beaman St.)
We are so very sorry for your loss. Praying for strenght for all family
members and friends during this heartbreaking time.
My deepest sympathy to the entire family. I pray for God’s strength during this time of immense sorrow. Rev. Chesney served and was obedient to God’s call. The angels are welcoming him home.
I’m praying for your family, may the peace that God gives shine upon your family.
