It is hard to say goodbye to my friend since 3rd grade at Creighton School and neighbors on Foote Dr. two different times. Even though we had our separate lives, we were bonded in such a way that if we got together, it didn’t matter how many years were in-between. we carried on like we were together the day before. Rest in peace, my sister. I love you.

My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family. Cheslene was a beautiful and sweet woman! Bless you all!

She is now in god’s hands and for now with other passed love ones. I love her and will never forget the good times we had all together. I wish i was there to say my last goodbyes in the hospital. I know i will not be the only one that will miss her truly. she didn’t leave so soon, she had her life all planned out. And she was very involved in the community here in phoenix and Goodyear.
