JESSIE BELLE SMITH GILMORE

My Mother was the epitome of what a Mother should be. So many adopted my Mother as their Mother. Although I always knew how much she loved me and her other daughters, I sometimes felt a little jealous. I miss you Ma so much and all the little talks that we had. I was blessed to have spent very precious times with you. Please keep watching over me like you always did.

To Grace:
The lost of a Mother is difficult for anyone at any age; you will always be her little girl. Your Mother always gave out compliments and she wasn't above bragging about her own children. She often spoke of your beauty and how no one could hold a candle to your cooking. I pray the Lord will give you peace and comfort during this time.

May God continue to bless the Gilmore family.....for having Mrs. Gilmore around was SURELY a blessing!

Jessie Gilmore was a very special person. She will be missed by many and never forgotten by all. She was a loving, caring and nurturing person. To know her is to love her. She has left earth to be with GOD in HEAVEN !!!

As the Mother of our Mother, we have suffered a great lost of both the women that have shaped and impacted our lives. Our Grandmother was a pure joy; we enjoyed our childhood because of her. She instilled in my Brother and me love and respect for our elders, high morals and values rich in Southern tradition. She was a lady in everything she did. She was NOT your average Grandma; she stood 6 feet tall without her 4-inch heels on, was very fashionable and in-style and her favorite...

I remember sitting on the porch with her and she was telling me that she wanted a pink blouse with french cuffs. I think she's going to like her robe better. God be with you all.

I first met Mrs. Gilmore when I was in 2nd grade at Curry Elementary. She was my favorite teacher. She was such a sweet, kind lady. She will be missed. God Bless your family.
