August 25, 2021 at 10:33 pmI’m so thankful for my Aunt Chestene. She was a great friend to my mother and how my mother and father met. We feel so blessed to have been part of her extended family. Although we were far apart, the times we were able to visit, Aunt Chestene was always loving, gracious, and went the extra mile to welcome us, love us, cook for us, and gather the family together to visit with us, etc. I know she always prayed for us. We loved her dearly and will miss her terribly but I know she’s rejoicing in heaven with Uncle Charlie, and with my mom and dad, Virginia and Merle, with Aunt Edythe, Uncle Bob, Grandma and Grandpa Turner, and Lowell. I know Aunt Chestene loved to cook for family and friends. She always provided her family with a balanced, home cooked meal. Just like her skills as an excellent cook knowing how to season her food just right, Aunt Chestene had a special seasoning, flavoring in life and in raising her children due to the presence of the Holy Spirit and in the grace of God. It’s because of Aunt Chestene’s love of God that Her Children and Grandchildren, nieces and nephews, today rise up and call her blessed. I’m so thankful for her life and the example she set for her entire family of what a Godly woman should be.
