Southland

Mike Chapman passed away very suddenly on Wednesday the 12th May leaving behind his best friend and wife of nearly 40 years. Together they were raising there 2 very young Grandchildren both with high special needs. This has left Lynette his wife with a massive hole in her life and is a devastating time for her as she was already grieving the loss of her Mother who sadly passed away a week previous, and at Mikes funeral her Aunt who she is enormously close with and has lived with them for the past 10 years got stomach pains and got rushed to the hospital to find out she has a stomach aneurysm and is now receiving hospice level care as nothing can be done and she will pass away any day. This is a tremendous hard time for Mikes 10 Children and there partners and many grandchildren, its especially traumatic for Lynette and her 2 Grandchildren who she now has to face raising on her own.

Mike was a gentle soul who loved children. He was amazing with the elderly and people with special needs. He also with his wife cared for many foster children. Most of their married life was giving to others and no thought of their own needs. They had made time for people who needed help and now I believe it would be a perfect opportunity to help Lynette and her Children.

As Mike has no life insurance or funeral insurance lynette is now facing finacial hardship and the inability to fund the funeral costs as well as keeping the mortage payments up as will no longer be receiving Mikes payments and will have to learn to manage on a benefit.

This page has been set up to help finacially support Lynette during this hard time where she has lost 2 of the most important people in her life in the space of a very short time and now about to loose her beloved Aunty, we are hoping to take some of the pressure off Mikes funeral cost as she also will have another funeral to pay for very soon, and take the time to grieve without worrying about how she is going to cover these costs.

Anything you can spare will be enormously appreciated, and the family thanks you in adavnce for your love and support.
