To Ms. Barbra, my heart goes out to you and your family as you have lost so much so close together, a husband and a son. Mere words cannot take away your grief and tears but amidst those tears and in your lonely moments may you draw comfort from all the wonderful memories you and your family have made together over the years and know that the greatest comfort comes from God and his promises which give us hope. John 5:28,29, Psalm 37:11, 29, Revelation 21:3,4 My prayers are with you and all your loved ones. (AnnRenee)

Our Sympathy and Condolences to the Family and Friends of Horace W. Gillison, Jr.

To Mother Barbara, Sister Alyce (Nikki), Brother Antonio, extended Family and Friends: Last Friday afternoon immediately after the ending of the services of his father, came the shocking and sad news of the passing of Horace Jr. This sad news shocked us all. When the news reached us here in Florida truly it was a tremendous shock and we were at a loss for words. We wondered how we could respond to our family and friends with a word of encouragement and comfort. Through prayer we do believe that our God's words of comfort to us at this time is found in Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" It means, that we always trust God, for He is always in control of all affairs in heaven and on the earth. We do not have to wonder or to speculate why God allowed these events to take place, with such close timing, to our family or what He is doing. And, through prayer we do believe that our God's words of comfort to us at this time is found in Proverbs 3: 5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." To the Gillison family, Tommy and Susan, your brother and sister, your uncle and aunt, and friends, stand with you today in this hour of grief. We offer our deepest sympathy, heartfelt condolences and sincere prayers that our great God of all the universe will bring comfort to your hearts now and throughout the days to come.

Tommy and Susan

My prayers going out to this family. Is this the son that dad use to have a business onHull Street.? If so, I was an employee there and also he did my wedding in 1978. God Bless You All

Uggh. The tears won't stop. We were just together the Saturday before your dad's service. You greeted me with your usual "what's up my cuzn!". You talked to Joe and I about your plans to "step up" for your family We gave each other a "corona hug" and laughed about it. If I had known this day was coming I would have grabbed and held on tight so you wouldn't slip away. We have been double trouble makers since we were toddlers and adulthood didn't change us much. Holy thugs we became. Lol. Gonna hold on to our memories and I promise I still won't snitch to your Mama. Love you forever "My Cuzn" "My Pooh" "Crazy Twin". - Chelle

My condolences to your family during your time of loss and know that I'm praying you are strengthen. Valerie Robinson
