We are deeply sadden to hear of the passing of our uncle George. He will be greatly missed. I hope that you find some comfort in your time of sorrow. We are sorry that we are unable to attend but the family is in our thoughts and prayers. From the daughers of James Henry Gholson (Wanda, Tonya and LaShawn), Washington D.C.

To the family, The Lord has given, and The Lord taketh away. Pastor Gholson will be missed by many. I remember a few months ago I was at Sentara Hospital he recognized me as a descendant of the Patrick family, followed me to my brothers room to pray for him. I thought that was so nice. He will be missed, but I Thank God for letting Pastor Gholson pass my way. Many prayers with Grafton Baptist Church.

To The Gholson Family:
What a loss here on earth but what a gain in heaven. The angels are truly rejoicing that the Lord has brought home his own. My heartfelt condolences go out to you all.

There is a saying that goes “we are just a moment in time…how we live will define that moment.” I believe Rev. Gholson's journey was not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, what a ride! May God strengthen you all in your time of need.
