This memorial website was created in loving memory of our Beautiful Chelsea Breann Oesterle, born on May 8, 1989 and entered Heaven on July 4, 2013 @ 8:29 pm. Fireworks will always symbolize her extraordinary life. She is the LOVE of our life. Her legacy will live on and Live Loud (her motto) forever. She left behind three loving beautiful sisters who adored her and a fiancee who loved her unconditionally as well as her father, family, friends and I, Mom who is forever shattered and broken but will stay strong for Chelsea and her sisters. She was the incredible and strong one, a true HERO. We will see you again in Heaven. You lit up the sky everyday on earth and now, you light up the sky..in Heaven. ALL OUR LOVE FOREVER, SWEET BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss of Chelsea. Chelsea was an amazing friend and person. Chelsea taught me the importance of having dreams and goals when we were about thirteen years old. Chelsea loved the song One Moment in Time by Whitney Houston. She would play it when we were younger and her whole face would light up. I will miss Chelsea every day. I am so proud of her for being her. So strong and brave. I love you Chelsea. My prayers and thoughts will be with your family throughout this difficult time.

Gary and Terry we are so sorry for your loss. Chelsea was such a beautiful girl, inside and out! She was always so friendly whenever we saw her! She will truly be missed. We aren't in town for the visitation but we wanted to let you know that you are in our hearts and prayers.
I did not have the blessing of meeting Chelsea, but as a friend of Rick and Amy, I was on the prayer journey for her. I am so very sorry for your great loss and all of the difficulty and suffering during her time in the hospital(s). I just want to bless you for your strong and persevering faith in the face of such adversity and the depth of love and commitment you showed to Chelsea, as well as to our Father God. I know your faith is pleasing to Him. Though I have not met you, I want to say you are an inspiring woman of faith. I am keeping your entire family in my prayers. May the Lord bless you and comfort you with His peace.
In His Love,
Lynn Ferguson
I met Chelsea while she was in the hospital. I remembered as I walked in I asked for her name and birthday and her mom looked at her thinking maybe she wouldn't be able to say it but she did. As I approached Chelsea to do some lab work I was blown away by how strong and beautiful she was. She was a true fighter. I could feel it in my heart from the instant I met her. I remember before I left I gave her mother a big hug. I will never ever forget beautiful Chelsea and her wonderful mother who was literally by her side the entire time I was in the room. They have forever touched my heart FOREVER!!
To Chelsea's family - and to Matt with my love- I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
I'll never forget the wonderful times I had with Chelsea. Beautiful girl on the inside and out. Thoughts and prayers with your family & friends.

Oh, Chelsea, can hardly believe it has been six years since you left us! Everyone still misses you every day. I really wish you were still with us but I know you are in a beautiful place and I pray someday I will be there with you! Uncle Bill and I talk about you often and how much fun we had when you were with us! Sometimes I can laugh and sometimes I weep and wonder why God took you so early in your life. We love you and miss you!❤️❤️
There is no greater agony than an untold story inside of you...Maya Angelou
Chelsea was a near perfect child, angelic in beauty, inside and out; at 5'10 with stunning green eyes, golden brunette curls and a beautiful olive complexion, she was a humble, compassionate and caring young woman. She fought battles in her young life no young person should endure. She stood up for others and never judged a soul. She stood her ground, despite adversity; a leader, not a follower. God knew her heart. We will tell her true story and all of those involved to raise awarness of the issues bestowed upon her with the hope of saving another young life, as Chelsea would surely have done with the support of physicians who see the truth and a documentary to follow. You Lit up the Sky everyday here on earth and you now Light up the Sky in Heaven. Let Freedom Ring, Let the White Dove Sing...We will SEE you again, our BEAUTIFUL Angel.
