Mr. Chapple, Lindsay and Mason, I have just learned of Mrs. Chapple's passing. I was so very saddened by this news. I have nothing but wonderful memories of the vibrant and creative Georgia Chapple. You were all so wonderful to me when I lost my own father in 2002. I can only hope that you will take some solace in the knowledge that not a day will go by that you won't think of her. Our loved ones never truly leave us. Love to all, Holly

Dear Art, Mason and Lindsay, I am deeply saddened with the news of Georgia's passing. Georgia and my late wife, Linda, were colleagues at The Westminster Schools and closely worked together daily in the Grades 3-5 art room. They remained good friends when Georgia moved to Savannah and Linda and I loved visiting with Georgia in Savannah and Beaufort during our vacations on Fripp Island. Please be assured of my prayers during this time of grief. Dick

Dear Art, Lindsey and Mason, I am shocked and extremely saddened to hear of Georgia's passing. My heart breaks for all of you. I remember Georgia as a bright ray of sunshine with an enchanting smile. She was gentle, kind, talented and a devoted wife, mother and daughter. Though I had not seen her in several years I have often thought of her fondly. The world has lost one of its' best yet heaven has gained a glorious shimmering soul. God bless you Georgia and may God wrap his arms around all of you at this very trying time. 'I say your name in the wind, to blow to a star to greet you and shine on you whereever you are. '
