Our Dear Chance’ie, how sad and broken our hearts are, but we know that you are now free of pain and rejoicing with many loved ones. What a little character you are, mischievous, gentle and loving, always on the go and giggling along the way. You have completed your earthly mission, and will be greatly missed, but forever loved and remembered until we meet again.
We are truly grateful for and want to thank all the wonderful staff and those we built close relationships with at Jordan Valley School, Bear-O Care, Turn Community Services and Camp Kostopulos.
We have been so fortunate to have Leslie Thorley and Susan Schoenrock, as our amazing DSPD Workers.
Special thanks to Grandma Jo and Grandma Sue for all the loving help through the years.
We really want to thank all our family, friends and so many others for all the outpouring show of love and support we have been receiving through this difficult time, you will never know how much this touches our hearts. Zach, Becky and Elsie, thank you for doing so much during these last few days.
All our Love, Ron, Ruth, Steve, Ali and Ben.
