In Loving Memory..........

I am looking to find the words to equal my feelings but can not seem to find them.
Marks father Bill passed away Monday and I wanted to show how much he will be missed.
When the man you call Dad or Father in law holds your son and there is peace, you cry. When that man is gone and he has never held your daughter, you cry. This man had turned his life around from one extreme to the other and embraced the Lord in his final years. I have never heard such a story regarding such a change of heart and character.
Bill was preceded in death by his son Robert Chapman and leaves his son David, his daughter Janelle and his son Mark. Bill is truly with God!!!

I am so sorry for your family losing this very special man. Greg's dad passed away without ever holding Elisabeth also...well..he held her for about 2 minutes right after she was born and then he died. Know that we love you both and we are praying for you and for Mark's family.

I know the hurt of losing a parent, but also the peace and closeness God brings to those left behind if they will embrace it. Mark, when we get to Heaven, guess who'll be the first to welcome us with open arms.... Love You!
In Christ,
