We know that The Lord will give His Spirit without measure in order to minister to you in your time of need. Lord willing we will get to visit with you all in a few weeks as we make our way to Arkansas for Thanksgiving. Mercy and grace to you all. Jim and Sandy.
I was so sad to hear of Drexel's passing, but thankful that he is safe in the arms of Jesus and rejoicing in heaven. To know that those who are in Christ will be reunited one day is such a great comfort. I'm thankful and blessed to be a part of the Gill family and share many memories. I'm praying that God's Amazing Grace will see you all through this difficult time.
Love you all, Sandy
