With deepest sympathy to my Family, my Auntie will truly be Missed. I will always remember her coming to Tifton, Ga. to see her nieces and nephews in love, she was a great Aunt who loved her family and always came bearing gifts, that was the love of God that was in her. We called her Aunt Twin, she will truly be missed by All. Much love to my family, Felton and Celeste Jackson & Family.
We were so sad to hear about the passing of our good friend, Lady Chenault. She will truly be missed. We send our sincere condolences and love to her family.
I’ve known Mother Chenault since the age of 12. I started attending Church of God 910 being invited by my neighbors, the Watts family. Mother Chenault was a kind, sweet and loving person. She always was cheerful and always spoke to me when we saw each other. This really hurt when i saw the flyer. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. 🙏
To the family. Although words cannot ease the sorrow of your loss. You’re. in my prayers.
