To the Gaskins family I would like to take this opportunity to extend to you my deepest condolences during this difficult time. Aunt Marilyn was one of a kind. Always had a warm spirit and always made us laugh by some comment she had made. I entered the Ministry in her birth day November 3rd some 40 years ago. When I was a young lad growing up in Oriental her home was one of my favorite spots on Sunday evening, where I was always welcomed to her table to eat. We shall truly miss her sweet and jovial soul. God give Strength and Peace to each of her love ones. Love you Apostle Keith Cannon
