Dear Family,
Mr & Mrs Goodwin were my customers when I was the branch manager at the bank in Maumelle Arkansas.  Mr. Goodwin brought us cookies during the holidays and always made our day.  He was a wonderful person.  I miss his emails...The last one I had from him was around his birthday....My prayers are with you.  I am honored to have known him.
Prayers, Sheryl

What a lovely man Chester was. I have known him, through  my brother and sister, since I was just five years old. A kind and gentle soul, he is now at rest with his beloved wife. His was a life well lived. My blessings to his family.

For almost forty years, Chester and Jean were part of our lives.  They quickly became family to us.  We visited often and more than once met in the middle in order to spend a weekend together.  They were the first to see our younger daughter, Maria, on the day of her birth in South Carolina.  As members of the Greatest Generation, they mentored and inspired us to live faithfully and to honor those who sacrificed so much for our freedom and liberty.  Hearing the story of their work at the German Prisoner of War camp at Camp Robinson during World War II and having the privilege later of driving them around the installation to be shown where things were in their day were rare honors.  We loved them.  We miss them.  Thank you, God, for placing them in our lives.

Dear Lisa,
 Britt and I send our thought and prayers to you and family in the loss of your father.  I have wonderful memories of him and your mom.  Such a kind and caring man he was, a true gentleman.  I can still see and hear him explaining how to drive a stick shift in the column!        Britt and Becky Wimberly

Lisa, You and your Dad were so thoughtful during my Mom's last days.  He lived his life as a true example of his Christian faith and he will be missed.

Dear Lisa & Family

Chester was a good man and a wonderful friend to our Mom, Emma Brown.  I remember his concern and calls during her last weeks, and the lunches we shared after she was gone.  Sending hugs.

Dear Lisa and family, I send you my sympathy and prayers on the loss of your father.  Chester and Jean were such a wonderful and loving couple. Chester carried on without her in a graceful and peaceful life, always thinking of others. He was an inspiration to me and a dear friend. I will miss his sweet smile each Sunday at church. In Christian Love, Mary Ellen Furr
