I am sadden to learn of Gilmore's transition. I have many, many fond memories of all of us who attended, protested, and graduated from Morris College with him. God has called Gilmore to be with Him, a promise that our faithful Father made to him. So may the peace of God be yours and the Comforter hold you tight with His loving arms around you. Rest in Him just as Gilmore is resting in Jesus.
