Nancy is my cousin, actually, I guess a double second cousin as her father was the son of my grandmother Cole's brother. Also,her grandmother was the sister of my grandmother. I want to send my condolances and prayers.

Coming of age during the 60s as a 'tweener' under Geep's influence provided me with many cherished memories, the most enduring perhaps being our Youth Group's 1962 road trip to Mexico. Fourteen kids and three adults packed into three station wagons for five or six thousand miles over the course of a month is hard to forget!
Geep's love of God and life and family exuded from his every action. I recall one Sunday when our family arrived at Church in our typical not-all-at-the-same-time fashion - - after the Opening Prayer, Geep paused and asked the almost-tardy portion of us (who had grabbed a last-minute seat at the back) to come forward and join the rest of our family. A moment of slight embarrassment for us, of course, but also an indicator of Geep's abiding belief of togetherness in God's World.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult transition.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in you and the family. Geep wasa special man that touched the lives of everyone that met him. I have always had the utmost admiration and respect for the man whom I think of when I recall my days as a child at Bethesda.

Nancy baptised my daughter Julia while she was interim at New Monmouth Pres. She and Geep meant the world to our family and he will be sorely missed.

We have so many precious memories of our days at Bethesda with Nancy and "Geep" All of the youth trips with the blue van, peanut butter sandwiches, water hose showers, hard basement floor beds and lots of laughter. Geep carrying a purse in Boston- Roger and Geep shopping in Altanta. We remember the countless babies carried up and down the aisle for all to see the newest child of God in our church and his wonderful sermons. We are blessed with so many special memories of this extraordinary servant of God who practiced the greatest commandment " To love one another. " Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as we
celebrate his life on earth and his reward in Heaven and mourn for our loss of Geep in our daily lives.
With our deeptest sympathy, Sharyn and Roger Billings
