Monica Chisum

August 18, 2020

My name is Monica Chisum. I wish I could have met Mr. Chisum. He is my family. My father's name is David Chisum. I believe his father and my dad's father were brothers. It would have been wonderful to know my Chisum side. I only know a little about him and his wife Gloria. I'm sending prayers always.
