“Being strong even when you’re weak, smiling even though you’re sad, keep going even when you feel like giving up, that is called strength.” -Chelsey

So many memories not enough pages
Chelsey I remember so many things about you from the day we met till our last time together. I can’t say enough how much I miss that smiling face of yours. Always eating hot tamales while at work or laughing on the radio when you shouldn’t have been. We talk about you so much there and I think about you every day! I talk to you when I’m alone and I hope you can hear me. I miss you so much!! I love you Chelsey!!

Destiney Coster Tribute
I’ve been thinking about you a ton lately. About the way you never judged my situation, especially because we were both always in such similar ones. The way we always made jokes out of the negative things people would say, because they were absolutely ridiculous. The way you loved your babies so much & were such a strong mom even when you were sick. The way you could make me laugh at any given moment just because you were that goofy and carefree. A piece of me left when you did. I love and miss you so much, Chelsey Jordan. I wish I could’ve told you that one last time while you were here. 🤍

Shelby Thompson Tribute
When life gets hard and when life gets great, I can’t help myself but to instinctually grab my phone to talk to you 💔 I’m on this journey right now to seek joy instead of survival, and… I can’t get over the fact that this is way harder without you, but it’s one of the biggest things you taught me. Chelsey Jordan the zeal for life and the love…. Missing you, my best friend, every day. 💭
