Chester! I miss you! You were one of a kind and having you come to my office every morning just to chit chat and ask about my boys is something I miss already! Hearing you holler “Whammy is here” every morning as I walked In will be missed. That nickname is still being used by a few here. You were such a kind soul and very flirtatious with all the pretty ladies when I took you shopping. You would smile ear to ear when they talked to you. You weren’t shy around any one. Having you here at the facility has been a blessing and you not only touched the hearts of my children but also those living here as well. Fly high! You will always be remembered by us!
