My thoughts and prayers go out to the chapman family. May our father hold you and comfort you in your time of need.
Kyla was a very good friend of my niece Shannon. We don’t know why someone so young is taken from us on this earth but one day God will let us know. God had her new home built for her and he was ready to receive her unto Him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family that Kyla left on this earth. May God give you the peace and comfort you need in this time of sorrow. God Bless each of you. I’m also sending up a special prayer for little Dakota.
my heart goes out to the family of this young tender life.may God wrap his arms around you in your time of sorry.
