EARLINE WRIGHT GABRIEL

Brad, I am so very sorry about the loss of your precious mother. It is such a deep hurt but all the fond memories will ease the pain. She is now resting in the arms of her Lord. God bless you all.

When I was asked to do the devotion at the Auxiliary a few years ago, Mrs. Gabriel came running after me, yelling "Rev. Mosley, Rev. Mosley ... I have sons that graduated from Overton like you. Surely one of them was in your class." We talked for a good while about you, Gene, and your many funny stories. She beamed like a bright star as she listened with a mother's sweet heart. Every time our paths have crossed since, she gave me all the updates. Know how much she loved you all. I will...

Norris, Brad and Gabriel family:

Carroll and I send love and prayers. It was our good fortune to be Earline's (as well as Norris's) pastor at Aldersgate UMC from 1985-1993. I always knew where to look to identify their presence. Earline's keen insights and lilting laughter will be missed. I thank God for her life, her leadership, and her friendship. May God comfort and bless you.

Rev. Russell N. Gallimore

Ray, Brad and all of the Gabriel family, so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Thinking of youl

Mrs. Gabriel was like a second mother to me growing up at Aldersgate. Gene, I just know both our Moms are in Heaven keeping an eye on us like they did from the choir loft. Love to all the Gabriels - you are in my thoughts, my prayers and in my heart.

She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. My parents really enjoyed the time they spent traveling with Earline and Norris.

Earline was a good hostess and will be remembered as a gift to our family. We send our deepest sympathies. May God bless and comfort all.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
