I am so sorry for your loss, Mrs Chisem was a beautiful soul, always working to provide fun and positivity to others. She has definitely completed what God send her on this earth to do. Take care of others, uplift them with a joyous spirit. She brought smiles to many faces working at department of children and families and will be sadly missed. But the impact of her work will forever live on in the hearts of the people she touched. May you all find peace in knowing that she left nothing but positive lights shining down on all those lives she blessed with a smile.

I cannot find words to express how I feel over the loss of one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met – Gloria. I just cannot even believe she is gone, her sense of humor keeps playing over and over in my mind. She was truly a child of God who devoted her life in serving Him through all the gifts she received from her maker and her resources. I am sure she is resting in God’s hands in heaven. To the family, take heart, because the good Lord will pour out his blessings upon you as a reward of the services your mom has rendered unto Him. May her soul rest in perfect peace.
