To the Giles & Gadsden Family:

When you feel: "I can't manage"
God says: I will supply all your needs(Philippians 4:19)

You may say: "I'm afraid"
God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear(II Timothy 1:7)

You may sense: "I feel all alone"
God says: I will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)

My thoughts and prayers go out to family and everyone that had the pleasure of knowing Bonita personally or professionally. She was a good natured person and will truly be missed.
