PRAYING FOR MARY JO AND WAYNE AND FAMILY, WE LOST A GREAT MAN, BUT HEAVEN IS SWEETER WITH HIM THERE
At a time of heavy hearts for the family, there is a wonderful celebration when a child of God takes his last breath here on earth and awakes to begin his new life and for time and eternity forever with the Lord. Gilmer was one of my favorite farmers, a man of character, praying for your grandmother, Mary and the family. Sorry we will not be able to attend the service, my daughter in law is in Florida in the hospital and I have the kids Love & prayers Jim & Fay Weaver
