Tionna and Gill Family,

I know this is a difficult time for you and your family, but I will leave you with these two verses.

Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Love and Prayers for you and your family,

CP (AKA-Angel)

To Wanda and the Kids, my prayers are with you and I am grieving with you. It was quite a few years since I saw Gill, and I am so glad that we had a chance to meet up again during a 954th Reunion. Gill was my military buddy who had a good heart. During military drills, both Wanda and Gill would welcome me to their home. I will be always grateful for their hospitality. Gill had the biggest smile that would brighten your day. He could make you laugh, just by hearing him laugh. You will be missed Gill. It was an honor to have known you as my friend. (954th GARNER)

Sending prayers of condolences to the entire Gill family. Rest in peace my former classmate Lorraine Price-Gibbs MLW class of 76

Cous! Thank you for always, always making me laugh. Your impersonations were the funniest. Thank you for always being consistent, compassionate and caring by being you. You babysat me, made me my 1st apple pie from scratch with the apples from the tree, taught me how to eat crabs and you sneaked me into my first HBCU dance at VUU when I was 15. I will never forget that night. I danced so much you had to drag me off the floor to leave. You would always ask me to braid your hair growing up. I didn't know it then but realized that was the start of your signature bald head 😊. There are no words to describe the pain, devastation and loss that we all are feeling. Just know that in your life "You did that"! You are loved, missed and will never be forgotten. Rest in Power! Nisey, Ernest, Joshua and Latrell Davis πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’•

Gill Family--We hold you close in our thoughts and prayers. We are deeply sorry for your loss. Please accept our condolences and may our prayers help comfort you. We love you. Mckinley, Audrey, Dana and Brett Cypress

Sometimes things happen we don't always understand why it's not for us to wonder but there is a reason why it may not be to our liken or pleasing for our eyes to see and it hard to understand when it happens to you or me somethings are suppose to happen it already in "His" plans you see "But" God takes care of his children He will take care of you as He has taken care of me so keep the Lord in your thoughts I know "He" will hold your hand and remember "we" have no control over the things that are already in "His" plans...
