I would see Chester at the Kroger store in Dalton, where he worked as a stockman on the overnight shift. I saw him often enough that I knew his name. He was always very nice and courteous to me. I’d say, “Hey, Chester!” and he’d say, “Hey, man how you doin’?”... always with that wry smile of his. I pray for his eternal soul. May he Rest In Peace and be with God in Paradise. My thoughts and prayers are for all Chester’s good friends and family that I’m sure will miss him very much. ~ Donald Gale, Dalton, GA

Job once said; If and able bobied man dies , can he live again? Job didn't know the full purpose of God then, answered his on question. You will call (God) and I myself will answer. What a loving thought, that we will answer God on the day of resurrection. Job 14: 14,15.
