I am so sorry for your loss; Gerald was so welcoming at Freedom Fellowship with the biggest smile on his face every Sunday. If I missed one Sunday, the following Sunday he was always making sure everything was okay. He was always kind and loving to everyone he met.
Dianne and Teri, I just read about your loss, please accept my deepest sorrow. My memories go back a long, long way with “Snuffy”. Dianne, those memories are filled with goodness, hope, and love for you both! You were an inseparable team that spread happiness, laughter, and love each time we met. What sincere, good, and true friends. May you find soalice and comfort in the beautiful memories of your life together. Sending my love, while asking for the heavenly Angels to comfort you during this time.
Sincere condolences to the family. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God provide the necessary peace and comfort to your family and friends during this difficult time. Please remember these words of encouragement from the Bible: “ Jesus plainly told her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” —John 11:20-25.
So so sorry to hear this we are out of state so won’t be able to attend services but our thoughts & prayers are with the family such a sweet Christian so friendly will always remember him at the door!
