On behalf of the Motts Church of Christ family, we join others in sending condolences to your family due to the passing of our dear Sister Willie B. Chambers, who left us and stepped into eternity on this past week.
Sister Chambers was a beautiful and quiet soul. Her gentle spirit was always on display as she was a model of great strength and self-control. She taught Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, volunteered and remained faithful until the very end. It's a grave loss to the church community.
As a church we were very much devastated by her passing and are praying for God's heavenly comfort to you and hope that you will feel the strength of His love and presence as you go through this difficult time.
We are available and ready to be of any assistance to you. To God be all the Honor and the Glory!
