Ed, Linda and families..I was saddened to hear today of Lucille's passing. She was a beautiful lady but had an even more beautiful personality. Friendly, loving, caring, and giving are just a few of the traits that come to mind as I think of her. My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this holiday season and beyond. May your many, many happy memories bring comfort to you all.

Dear Gibson Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of Grandmother Gibson. I remember her from when Jonathon came to Gingerbread House, a few years ago. She was a beautiful lady, who loved her family very much.
Sincerely,

Mrs. Gibson used to pick me up and take me to church when I was a child. She always had a smile for the children. She will be remembered by me as a very kind woman. My sincere sympathy to the family. Lori (Mahan) Dodson
