JonAnn, my heart aches for you, Ethan, Amilea, Lucus,and your family! There are no words that can take away the pain and emptiness that you are feeling right now, so all I will say is that I am so very sorry, I love you and I am praying for all of you! God Bless you🙏💚
Sweet Keri - How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
The weight of grief is hard to carry but its easier knowing that you are not gone, but only onto your next adventure. I will cherish our childhood memories and I hope one day to meet your precious children and share with them how wonderful and special you were.
Sending love from back home. Erin Printy Land
I am so sorry for your loss!! God is always in need of Angels, and I believe He took two home with Him. Keri was our substitute many time and part of our family! Her love and spirit is something all of us should inspire to be. God Bless them, their children and their families through this difficult time. I know He has taken them home to watch over all of us!

Dear Lord,
Etha , Amelis and Lucas are precious children, Truly a gift from God. We praise you for them. We thank you for them as individuals and for them as a unit. We pray for them to remain healthy and strong as they grow into adults. May your hands of protection cover them today and for the years to come.
Lord, We ask that you bless their relationship with one another. We ask that you allow each one of them to grow into an appreciation of what their brother or sister has to offer them. We pray that you give them an understanding of what a gift it is to have a sibling to share life with. Lord, help them to identify their brother or sister a blessing.
Lord, we pray that when bickering begins, they have the ability to stop and realize that they have a choice. They can treat their sibling badly because they can get away with it, but we ask that they choose a different path. We ask that they choose to show respect and love to their sibling because they recognize that their sibling is who they get to share life with. And that is a gift to be appreciated instead of taken for granted.
May you allow them to appreciate each other’s differences instead of being frustrated by them. May you allow them to blend when their similarities may cause them strife instead of benefit. Give them insight to understand each other and themselves so that they know whom their sibling is both good and bad. And help them to choose love despite their sibling’s flaws.
We pray that they can be strong influences over one another. We pray that they can each be Godly (women/men) as they grow. And we pray that they lead each other back into a love for you when one is falling away.
Lord, we pray that when one is falling into some kind of temptation that they can feel comfortable to talk with each other. And when that time comes, we pray that you give that sibling sound advice in what to respond and how to guide their brother or sister in a Godly way.
We pray that when they need a friend that their sibling can be a sounding board for them. A person whom they can call or text and will take the time to care for them. We pray that they realize that even though friends can come and go, a sibling is always there.
And lastly, use them as a team to make a big impact on this world. Use their individual gifts and passions to work together to shine your light. Whether that means they are championing each other on in their separate pursuits or if they choose to reach out and pursue something together, let them be each other’s biggest fans as they seek to honor you.
Thank you Lord for Ethan, Amelia and Lucas, May they always be thankful for each other too.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
Mr. and Mrs. Chipman you raised a formidable son and an exemplary father of 3. It was an honor to have known him, worked with him and been his friend. His love for Keri and his family was his true compass in life. There are no words to properly express my condolences to Mike and Keri's children and their surviving families. I sit with you in the heart break and sadness. All of you are in my prayers, may God help provide comfort and strength.Keri's and Michael's love for their children will live on. Rest in peace Michael and Keri. - Isis Tomik
Danielle and family,
I cannot express how sorry I am for you and your family. Your courage to face a new day despite your saddness is an inspiration to others who cannot handle such grief like you can. Remember the strength of your relationships with family and friends, they are sure to help during this difficult time. I am praying for Michael and Keri's children who are surely lost without their parents. May God help them find comfort in his arms and through those that love them so much. -D. Testagrossa
I'm very sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences.
