Dear Gholson Family,
I am going to miss Pappa G so very much. I wish I could be there with all of you. I am sending you my thoughts and prayers and remembering all the times we shared.

I was saddened to here of the passing of my first cousin and boyhood pal.As a young boy I spent summers with Aunt Kitty and Uncle Ed and the "boys",Jerry,Ronnie,Fred,
Paul,Bobby and Barry.We played ball at Summer Hill together and go to the Open Air Drive-in and once and a while smoke a Lucky Strike while sitting in Jerry's Model A.
My heart felt condolences go out to the Gholson Family and especially
Brenda-who was always there.

God Bless
