So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Your mom was a wonderful woman and respected by all.
At times like these I look back fondly on all the wonderful times shared with the Gilley family growing up on 'the ridge'. So happy that you "country folk" took us "city folk" in and showed us the ropes on country life and all the riches of good friends!
Prayers and love to the entire Gilley family.
Much Love - Sharon and Johnny Gentle
