    To the Gilbert Family.. There are no words to express the sadness that I feel for you. You are in my heart and prayers. We never know why G-d calls our loved ones to heaven but we hope he had a good reason.

    Mike, Jill & family, Words cannot heal the pain that you feel and cannot comfort, but God can comfort and we pray that you will look to Him for that comfort and just lean on Him. We love you all and are here for you. God bless you all
