Donna Kay Chesto

On November 7th, 2023, Donna Chesto was suddenly and unexpectedly called to heaven at age 74. A Vegas resident of more than 60 years, a Valley High (Go Vikings!) & UNLV cheerleader, a loving and devoted wife of nearly 55 years, and an amazing mother of 2 and grandmother of 3. She was always there for her family and friends. Donna was always happiest bringing joy to others. And of course, planning the next party! She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her service is Saturday Dec 2nd at 11:00am.

Footprints in the Sand

“One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord,

that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
