I've known Rev.Mingo Chisholm all of my life. He was a childhood friend to my late father, James Brown . I remember he and his late wife, Barbara visited us often when we lived in Washington, D.C. and in Yemassee. He was always a phone call away and was a very nice and patient man. I will miss him dearly. My deepest sympathy and condolences and prayers to the family. Love always, Nikki Brown
