Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you today Jim.

Jim and family, it seems hard to believe that a year has passed since we gathered to say goodbye to Roxane. I think of her every day. She was a wonderful friend and I miss her friendship, her wisdom, her humor and her many thoughtful ways. I think of all the first your family have experienced this year and know how difficult these have been. I know how much she loved you and how proud she was of her family. She is remembered and loved by so many as are you. Ngoako keep you.

To the family of Mrs. Gilmore I am sorry for your loss. May God co.fort you at this time. Rest in peace dear lady. Charlene Sullins Chesapeake, VA

I have so many wonderful memories of times spent with Roxane, Jim, Jay and Ashton. Roxane graced many with her kindness and friendship. She was a Renaissance woman. My heart will always miss this very special friend and I will always be grateful for her wonderful presence in my life. Thank you Roxane for so many years of friendship. Your spirit will continue to influence your family and friends. You fought the mighty fight with such grace and dignity.

I have such fond memories of Mrs. Gilmore from my days of swimming at TVRA. Even after becoming First Lady she was still just as humble and kind to me when I'd run into her from time to time. I'm so heartbroken for her family. She was so special.

Very sorry to hear this. Roxanne restored a touch of elegance and history to the governor's mansion. Sucha sweet woman. She will be missed by many. Rest in peace dear lady.

Just want to say am very sad to hear of Roxane's passing. We were neighbors several streets away in Suffolk, VA. growing up and Classmates from 1st through the 12th Grade. My Prayers and Condolences go out to the Family. Am sorry for your loss. Through the Grapevine would hear about Roxane's endeavors from time to time. She was quite a person.
