Mrs. Chisolm was a beautiful rose who never met a stranger. On Sunday's at church I would say to her "let me smell you" the musk scent fragence was a soft scent. She was a faithful member of WGUCC Laywomen's Fellowship and the Sr. Usher Board, a member that greeted you with a smile and kiss that turely welcomed you. God plucked two Beautiful sisters Martha Dunlap and Fannie Chisolm one at a time. Enjoy your transition Mrs. Chisolm to the over side of life.
