We are at a loss without Mom Gibson. We all loved her very much, and will miss seeing her on the back 40 at Allison and Tony's homestead. She made amazing soups, awesome oatmeal raisin cookies, and yes, they were sugar free !!! Mom Gibson was a wonderful lady, always there to lend an ear, make you laugh, and was a wonderful mom to her children, grandchildren. Mom Gibson, may you always be cradled in God's arms, and dance along with your guitar playing fella. We miss you and we are honored to have had the pleasure of knowing you. Gob Bless you and your family during this time of sorrow. You are in Heaven, out of suffering, and Free !!! Love you and miss you, Les, Rita, Rebecca Bristow.
