Mrs. Chappell,
I would like you to know how sorry I am at the passing of your husband. I'm a distant cousin of his from the Goode family in Abingdon. Sarah and I did quite a bit of research on our family history. I'm sorry to say that I only met Dr. Chappell once, and that was at Sarah's funeral. Through the years, however, I have always heard so many good things about him. My deepest condolences to you and your son.
