    Dear Chastain Family…I was very saddened to hear of Bessie’s passing. I have such fond memories of Bessie & John and the whole family from our many years as neighbors on 48th Terr. We speak often at family gatherings about the times of our youth and especially the memories of the Chastain family around the 4th of July. My Deepest sympathies and prayers go out to you all. May GOD Bless and Comfort you at this time. Dave Cantrell

    Dear Uncle J. C. & family,
    I was saddened to hear of Aunt Bessie’s death. My prayers are be with all of you. My you receive the comfort you need in knnowing that she is at peace, but most of all that she is with our Lord Jesus. She has accomplished a goal each of us are still trying to achieve and that is that some day we will also be with our Lord. When we reach that goal we will be able to see Aunt Bessie’s sweet face and warm smile again, but most of all we will rejoice in being
    with our Lord as she is.
    With sincere prayer for each of you. Gladys Chastain Clayton

    I knew Mrs Chastain as Linda’s mom. She was just the sweetest gal, never said a harsh thing about anybody. Warm and loving and a dear soul in my memory.

    RIP, ma’am. You earned it.
