I just learned of Lovel's death. I'm so sorry I didn't come to the funeral home. He and Verlia were always so good to me. I enjoyed many happy times while staying with Dawana. I'm so very sorry for you loss.

I am so sorry for each of you.I always thought growing up on Bowen's Creek that the Gibson family was a close family like the Nida family and how much we loved hearing Albert and his family sing. I wll keep you in my prayers.Wish I could be there with you.

Papaw,
I will miss you more than you will ever know. I am so tremendously thankful that I had you in my life for so many years. You've given me love unconditionally and memories of laughter to last me the rest of my life. There could only be one "papaw Lovel" I'm not saying good-bye to you, I'm just saying "Ill see you later". I love you with all my heart and don't worry, we will take good care of mamaw.
Love You, Stafonya
