The Flowers family pass along our deepest sympathy. It was a pleasure to know Mr. Gatewood. I admired him for the detection he had for his family. We had some great conversations over the years.

I enjoyed the years we had as football team members for the Rust College Bearcats. You'll be remembered by me and other teammates.

I thank God for blessing us with you. Without you, I wouldn't have the awesome cousins that I look up to. Distance kept our paths from crossing often, but the love & heart warming smiles I will forever cherish. I pray for strength over our family, as we grieve the loss of a great man. Much love, peace & happiness, as we also give thanks for the time God has allowed you here on earth.
Sending Love from Oklahoma,
Sarita Mitchum & Family

LaFayette,
Growing up, you were and always will be my best friend. I'll never forget what your parents did for me. Your home became a safe haven for me....and you provided the closeness I needed to guide me through those difficult days. The last conversation I had with you I ended by saying,I love you man. You responded by saying...I love you too. If it's God's will, Elaine and I will be in St. Louis to bid you fairwell my friend,dear friend. God Bless you man.
