For those who know me this story will have more impact but wanted to mention anyway. Ten years ago last week I left my job at Chapman Funeral Home where I had worked in some form or fashion for 20 years. The Chapman family was in 5th generation of funeral business but pretty much down to Charles and his mother. There was a nephew working there with us but it was not thought he could take on the business for reasons I won't go into. Charles was at retirement age of 65 and of course his mother older by several years. It was decided they would sell the business and I didn't go to work for the new owner. Not long after, CHarles mother's health got worse and she was put into nursing home where she passed away last night. She was 98 years young. Funeral will be sunday and I have been ask to be a pall bearer which I considered an honer as the Chapman family was family to me as much as my own. Her husband died back in 1986 if I remember right after only a few weeks of finding out he had cancer. He was a hoot to work for. I miss my days at the funeral home! Rest in Peace Mrs. Chapman.
