Funerals/Memoriam
TIWAN, YOU ARE IN OUR HEARTS
TIWAN S. CHAPMAN
It’s been five years (11-25- 2010). We thought of you today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that, too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. Now all we have are memories and your pic- ture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts.
We miss and love you: mom (Cynthia), dad (Vension), sisters and brothers, Velicia and family, Antony and family, Ulyssicia and family, Kamilah and family, Shannon and family, Vension, Jr. and Micah; and special friends and loved ones.
