Rest in peace Cousin Mary. Condolences to the entire Gilliard family. Losing a close relative is never easy especially when that relative is your mother. Faith has taught us that she has gone to a better place and now joins her late husband where both will rejoice in the presence of God Almighty. Keep the on believing family and trust God for he does not make mistakes. Rest in perfect peace.
