Committal
When the world is dark around you, and a prayer will see you through,
Say an extra prayer fo r someone who may need it more than you. For who knows what hearts are breaking
in the silence o f the night! Just that extra prayer you whisper
may help someone see the light.
Everytime you help a stranger with an extra prayer or two,
You are building secret blessings that will all come back to you.
We the family o f Ruth D. Gibson would like to express our deepest appreciation for the many acts o f kindness shown during the lost o f our loved one. We wish to express sincere thanks to all o f you who have helped to share our time o f sorrow by your calls, visits, floral, food and other forms on condolences. May God bless and keep each and every one o f you.
