    My sincere condolences to the family of Jacklyn Ruth Gartner Gilman – May you find comfort in your loving memories and in recalling her many talents. It was not the Creator’s purpose that mankind suffer (Romans 5:12). God has promised that a time will come when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). In the Bible we are promised a resurrection of dear family members and friends that we have lost (John 5:28, 29). I hope you are comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).

Add your thoughts and memories. Upon approval they will be added.
