I pray God's peace upon the Gibeau family.

Dear Ed (junior),
I'm thanking the good Lord for the love and prayers that your parents poured into you. I'm grateful to the power of the Holy Spirit who, though your parents, moved you to want to heal the broken world--one person at a time.

Sincerely,
Shasha

Hello Gibeau family,
You have my deepest sympathy.
I am so sorry for your loss. I found out this information just a day after the church service.I would have wanted to attend.
My Father is Al Novesky and he was an usher at OLPH with your dad.We just loved your mom and dad.I thought I was seeing things when I saw both of thier names in the church paper. It must give you some peace that they are together.
We lost contact when they moved. Were they both ill for a long time?
My father is not in good health , and has not been for years. I know how hard it is to watch. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerly
Geri Belford

Mr. Gibeau,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USMC during WW II. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines back then that all of us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
