To Joan and family
Gil was such a Gentleman. He always had an encouraging word. He helped me so much when I was attending night courses at Hudson Valley College and always said, "You're going to make it"
I will continue to lift all of you in prayer as you go through this period.

To the Family my heart goes out to the family in this time of sorry. May God keep you all close to his heart and may blessings flow to all.

Minister Joyce D Williams

Joan and family may you find comfort in these words:
God saw you were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you
and whispered, "Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

My prayers are with you all. Much Love
Your Sister in Christ,
