Marlene, Bob, and girls-

I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad, Father-in-law, and Grandfather. I know God will give you peace during this time of sorrow and grief. May you reflect on the memories of your Dad, and I pray that God keeps those memories alive in your heart! According to God's word, we have that hope and promise of seeing our loved ones again. I pray this gives you comfort in knowing your Dad is resting in perfect peace, in perfect health, and in perfect joy in the caring arms of Jesus! Jesus is our peace, and because Christ rose from the dead-we too will rise one day to be together forever in Heaven! We will continue to lift your family up in prayer. Our condolences also to your brother and his family, and to the rest of your family members.

Love, The Chapman Family
(Randy, Shelley, Corey, Hayley, and Connor)
