I will always remember her bright smile in times of need. Whenever my mom and her grandma would call her for help, she would always be right there. I will never forget the day she came and cut my mother’s hair when she was losing it from her own cancer treatments. The world will be a little dimmer without Chantol in it. May God be with her family in this difficult time.
Love,
Aunt d’Juana
Its sad to see such a beautiful soul leave us so soon. The love she had from family, friends and co workers is amazing to see. Growing up with Lacey and being around Chan at a younger age with the memories we have is something I will cherish for ever. Her outlook on life was inspiring, her smile was contagious and the conversations were never dull. Cutting both of my babies hairs and sharing stories of her kids at a young age vs mine today, I will hold tight and take the advise she has given me and carry it with me daily. Chan you will be deeply missed beyond words. We all have our special memories of you. To all ends of her family, I have you in my thoughts through this hard time, love your loved ones endlessly, hold tight to the hands you love, share the moments you have had and cherish every minute of life. <3 Dani
Condolences to the family and friends of Chantol. We had some fun times at the campground and growing up together. Will always remember the fun even though we lost contact over the years. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
Chantol and I were coworkers at Fix Salon shortly after the flood in ’08. I was always so impressed by her positive attitude and patience with people, especially when she was dealing with damage to her home and former business from the flood. You could count on those sparkly blue eyes, a big smile and a kind word. A true sweetheart, she always wanted to know what was “new and exciting” in your life since you’d seen her last. I don’t know if it’s because we’re both Gemini’s, but she literally never forgot my birthday…even though it’s been years since we worked together. Chantol was such a lovely, beautiful soul. She will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to her family and friends. ❤️
Thoughts and prayers are with the Feuerhelm family . Chantol was such a caring and pleasant person.
I did not know Chantol personally, but I was saddened to see the obituary in the paper. I cannot know what you are going through, but I wanted to tell you that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. She was much too young for you to lose her. I wanted to share a verse from the Bible that gives me comfort. James 1:13 says “When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone.”
So many sad things happen. I hope you believe that you will see her again, and I hope that it helps to know that others do care.
