16 years old. I’m just sadden about your lost. Gene and our family have been friends down through the years. Along with your late grandmother. Stay encourage.

I will miss our talks and laughs talking about the Bible. I will always miss you cousin. Rest in peace.
Every year Mr. Gilmore would bring his envelope of tax forms and receipts to my job. Because I worked downtown he would always be right on time so I could run out and jump in his car. He always greeted me with the biggest smile which is the memory I will always cherish. My sincerest condolences and prayers to the Gilmore family. I love you all!
So sorry for your loss. May your precious memories and the love give you comfort. Prayers for your family.
Sincerely,
