A life well lived - my best friend - Mama, Mrs. Chapman will forever be near and dear to me.
Her witty personality, the way she would tell stories would make you laugh for days. I always admired how dutiful she was to family and friends. To know she is reunited with her baby girl Esther, parents, brother's and sister plus no longer suffering is a comfort. To my crab eating partner and line dancing buddy tell Esther and my parents hello until we all meet again. Blessings for ever to the Chapman/Bell/Green/Crawford familes.
Alethia Russ & family.
