Gerry saved my life when I was only 13. Tommy, Gerry, a girl whose name I don't recall, and I went to Cumberland Falls. I was walking along the edge on rocks when my foot slipped out from under me on a slippery rock, and Gerald caught me, pulled me back to safety, away from sure death. Because he lived, I lived. Always will remember that and be thankful he was there.

Have fond memories of Gerald, Tommy and the family. Ate chili more than once fixed by Ollie.

What a friend he was. I loved him in the Lord. One day I will see him again. My heart goes out to all of his family. He will be greatly missed. But I know he is so happy now knowing he is with the Lord and Mildred because he missed her so much.

In Christ,

To the family of Bro. Snowden, I remember our days together at Richmond Road Baptist Church. They are good memories, I am thankful to hear Bro. Snowden was still serving the Lord, I hope you all are. I didn't know about your Mother and I offer My condolences on both accounts, ( Mother and Father). We pray the Lord who is the God of all comfort, will do so at this time of need.
