Mrs. Gibson, I just found out about Mr. Gibson's passing today. I'm so sorry I didn't know in time to come to the services. Both of you are very dear people with lots of "patience." I haven't forgotten all the wonderful things the both of you did for me when I was just a child back in the 50's. I know you will miss him terribly. Please let me know if I can do anything for you. My prayers and thoughts are with you in these trying times, but I know he's in a better place! The people at Pine Street will also miss him dearly! It won't be the same not running into him in the halls. He was always so friendly and cheerful. Take care.

Margaret:
I'm so sorry to hear about Charles. I remember the many times when it was my turn in the nursery he would stop by on Sunday's and help. He was a great person and will be missed by all whom knew him.

Margaret: I was shocked and saddened to learn of Charles brief illness & quick death. I enjoyed knowing him through the Pine Street Baptist connection. I know this will be a definite void in your life going forward. Please know that I will be thinking about you in the weeks and months that lie ahead. Love, Betsy
