Condolence: Dear Elsie and Family - My heart 'skipped a beat' when I learned of Junior's death. And, it was because of the pain of separation a family experiences in the absence of their loved one. I can only imagine your emotions, and all your family, as well. And, at the same time, we all rejoice for Junior, knowing he is now in the presence of his Lord and Savior. And, I imagine there is an awesome reunion taking place with all his loved ones too. PTL! I just wish we could have known him longer and shared more time with him. About all we knew of him and his family, were the memories we heard our dad, Melvin, share. My heart was filled with love for him the moment we made contact, and I'm thankful for the time we had with him and you, after Tommy's death. You are all in our thoughts and prayers - wish we could be there with you. I thank God for the great testimony he lived out with his family. I hope we may see you, your daughter and all your grands sometime, if you come back to SC to visit. Just know we love you all, and will keep you in our prayers. With love and blessings, Nancy Deal and all of Melvin and Katherine Gillespie's family.
