Dearest Vicki and Armstead Family,
We were so saddened to hear of the passing of your beloved Brother. I'd like to share my favorite sentiment with you that helped me put into perspective God's choice for calling my two Brother's home so soon; From the tree of life, each leaf must fall,the green,the gold,the great,the small,each one in God's own time he'll call,with perfect love, he gathers all.
Extending our deepest sympathy,
Lorraine & Bobby Gibson
