Dearest Chapman Family
I was deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend. I have known here for 52 years and we always seem to keep in touch. I know all of you will miss her because I know I will.
Julius, you will remember me more so than your brothers. Hang in there and try to take care of the family, I know your mom would want you to do that,
Let me hear from you when you get things settled down.
Love,
Francine Woodson Burriss
