Maurice Chatman_lrg 2fld blue

Don't grieve for me now, I'm free.

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard him call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

Michael Rudd | Caster Dale Chatman, Jr. | Anthony Scott Marcus Chatman | Darnell Jenkins | Cantrell Polk

To laugh, to love, to work or play

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

Joe Chatman | Caster Dale Chatman, Sr. | Louis T Chatman Ronnie Chatman | Edward Allen | Oscar Chatman Gerald Rudd

I found that peace at close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

Sons/ Grandson: Maurice Chatman | Chris Chatman | Mauricio Broomfield Ayrron Polk, Sr. | Devin Broomfield

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah yes, these things I too shall miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow;

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full; I've savored much;

Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
