I wish to extend my deepest sympathy on the loss of you wife and to the children on the loss of their mother. I am a cousin and have fond memories of playing with Verda at my grandparents farm. Grandma Bessie Jimmerson was a sister to Tommy. As the years went by I had lost touch with many of my cousins. I am 78 also and trying to get some of my pictures and geneology things organized in scrapbooks. I also have been trying to research Robert Chipp etc. Do you have Verlin Chipp's address and phone number? Doyou have family history you have researched?
I would appreciate a reply from someone. My email addr evhilman1@iowatelecom.net and snail mail 1118 Patt St.,Creston Ia 50801. This hits home and I realize I must spend more time getting these things together. Again my deepest sympathy. She was such a lovely cousin.
