Several years ago I had the distinct privilege of having Chanelle as one of my students. Remembering back to that year I was blessed to be able to be a small part of her life. Chanelle was always a soft spoken child who had those eyes which could draw you in immediately. She often spoke of her family and how much she loved them, especially her daddy, grandma Joyce and aunt Sarah. I knew each of her family members impacted her life lovingly. She always enjoyed the family gatherings and would share her stories with me. It brought a smile to my heart. I’m so thankful Chanelle chose to ask Jesus to be the Savior of her life. I take comfort knowing she is spending eternity in heaven because of her decision. Thank you grandma Joyce for your sacrificial love for your precious grandchildren.
Thank you for your kind words.
