My condolence to the Chapman Family, I had the honor of meeting his family at St Mary's weeks before his passing. I enjoyed hearing wonderful stories about his father from his son that day. We had a great time lifting up the name of Jesus staying in the presence of The Lord. Though it all our faith was in The Lord knowing that God had major plans for that man of God. Be strong in The Lord and his power. Blessing to the Family until we meet again!

Just heard about Bill's passing at church today. He has a special place in our hearts. May God wrap his arms around you Evelyn, and know that he is a-singin'-and-a-dancin' in the streets of Heaven!

My deepest condolences to the Chapman family. I hope that you will remember me as well as my parents. My name is Michael Andrew and my parents are Rev and Mrs Max Andrew. You were long time friends and fellow workers for the Kingdom in the United Church of Christ. I spoke with them today after I had read the obituary in the Anderson Indiana paper. They have missed speaking in the last few years. Please, after you have had time for the grieving process, send me an email ([email protected]) I would especially like to give you my parents address so they a reconnection might be possible. Again, my deepest sympathies.
