To the family of Ms. Gholson
My thoughts and prayers are with you today as you say goodbye to your beloved mother, grandma, auntie, and friend. Earthly death now means something different for me. Absolutely blissful for the soul that is now without suffering, doubt, or fear but now separated from us. When I think of grieving a loss it’s a complicated emotional process that is different from person to person. Take your time and feel how you feel. Remember it’s a process of healing ❤ day...

Sweet Ms. Gholson. was my Bingo Buddy, picture coloring partner and Saturday coffee and movie time friend. She loved attending our Bible study, church service and music programs. She will be so very missed. Prayers are sent for her family during this time.

Thank you Gholson siblings for sharing your mother with us. I can remember the countless meals I had at the home of Ms. Viola, especially the Lemon Chess Pie! Her humor will ever be cherished and her love will never be forgotten.

To Angie, Pam and the Gholson Family. I send you love prayers and condolences from the Blandford Community Neighborhood. May the comfort of God's love and peace surround you and your family during this difficult time of loss. We remember when you and your mother were living on Wythe Street in the house up from Eastside Grocery and Grill store back in 70/80's and was attending Petersburg Public Schools. I remember Mrs. Gholson as a special, confident, strong, resilient, humble and hard...

My grandmother will TRULY be missed! My heart is full of sadness and regret not being able to be as close as I would have like to have been. But it never took away the respect and love that I have for her. Love you grandma.
