DEAR PAT,
OUR THOUGHTS AND MOST CERTAINLY OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS TIME OF LOSS. EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THAT GIL SUFFERS NO MORE AND THAT HE DWELLS IN THE HOME OF OUR LORD, HE WILL STILL BE GREATLY MISSED. HE WAS A WONDERFUL HUSBAND AND FATHER, AS YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE TRULY A TESTAMENT TO THE LOVING & DEVOTED PARENTS YOU WERE AND STILL ARE.
I ADMIRE YOUR STRENGHT, YOUR UNABIDING LOVE OF OUR LORD AND YOUR UNWAVERING FAITH THAT HE IS A JUST AND LOVING GOD. MAY HE KEEP HIS ARMY OF ANGELS AROUND YOU, PROTECT AND GUIDE YOU AS YOUR LIFE TAKES A NEW COURSE. MAY YOUR DAUGHTERS, YOUR GRANDCHILDREN, FAMILY & FRIENDS STAY CLOSE AND CONTINUE AS THEY HAVE FOR SO LONG, TO WALK WITH OUR LORD AND BE THERE FOR YOU, AS WELL.
YOU HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION FOR THOSE OF US THAT TRULY DID NOT REALIZE THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE, GIL AND YOU ARE, UNTIL WE BEGAN OUR OWN WALK WITH OUR LORD, IN ACCORDANCE TO HIS HOLY WORD.
I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS
ALWAYS.
