All of the family, but especially Judy, Tracy, Connie and Trent, are in my prayers on the transition of Gilbert from earth to Heaven. He always treated me like family which I appreciated. I know that he will be sorely missed, but he is at peace. May God grant all of you peace and strength during this time of reflection and sorrow. Rest Eternal Gilbert
