I will cherish your memory. May God Bless you. I know you have a fabulous mansion in heaven. Please tell Dad I said I love him and miss him. Love, Kim

In Loving memory of Mrs. Josephine L. Chisolm: Truly a sweet and beautiful woman who will be truly missed, she had such a kind heart and a sweet spirit. She loved her family and others but family first. The Lord truly gave strength to carry on through all her endurance while she was here. But now she has finished her race and now she will take her rest from labor to reward with a Crown of Glory no more pain or suffering. As the song writer sings, Precious Lord Take My Hand and Lead Me On. Well the Lord took her hand and so did her husband John and said come on up a little higher. Well done you are Home now. Sleep on in Glory. Love Jackie Womack

My aunt, who my daughters affectionately called Muggie was always there for my family. She was not only my mother's only sister but she was like a second mother to me and godmother to my daughters. Her kind and loving spirit always touched our lives. There was never a time that she didn't have time to lend an ear to what we had to say or inquire about what went on with us. She will be missed and always hold a special place in our hearts. Be at peace. Submitted in loving memory- Ballard Family

Dear Mom: My Tribute To You Is As Follows: Josephine L. Chisolm Is The Epitome Of A Woman No woman will ever compare to your strength, wisdom and beauty. On countless occasions I witnessed you face the most difficult situations with the courage of a lion. How I yearn to become a woman such as you. You are the very first person to ever understand me. Your wisdom has guided me throughout my life, and I would not have become a success without you. Mom, you are truly the Wind Beneath My Wings. Thank you for encouraging me to fly so high. Your ageless beauty is unmatched. As I grow older, I pray that I duplicate your beauty because your face displays your strength, patience and wisdom. In closing, Mom, you are my idol, and without question, you, Josephine L. Chisolm, are The Epitome Of A Woman
