"I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me and rest; Lay down, O weary one, lay down thy head upon My breast.” I came to Jesus as I was, weary, and worn, and sad; I found in him a resting-place, and He has made me glad.

The very words written by an old hymnologist, ring as a testament of the life of Mr. James Edward Gaston. Mr. Gaston, 83, is the beloved son of the late Mr. Leo Gaston, Sr. and Mrs. Julia Best Gaston. A man of many attributes, a man of service to his country and a man who lived his life to the fullest; the memories of his legacy are forever etched into the hearts of all whom he knew and loved.
