Regarding Greenie: I.B. Chapman who died of lung cancer


I just opened an email dated July 18, 2008 from Audrey Chapman Richards, I.B.'s sister who was in my graduating class of 1959. She wrote:

"My brother just died at 12:17 a.m. today, his birthday, 07/17. Thank you and your church for your prayers. God's intervention was to relieve him of his pain and suffering. He lived three months, one week from the date of diagnosis. And yes, he was a Greenie although he did not graduate...Later he got his GED and went to welding school at Lamar, graduating with top honors. His daughters and son were with him when he died. We had visited that day, but he was not very lucid. He did recognize that Mom and I were there, but then he drifted back to sleep. He was on morphine for pain, and it kept him mostly unaware the last two days...."

Sympathy emails may be sent to Audrey: aric6591@juno.com
