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
