I loved Miss Gilbert!
She always made me feel happy to go to the Perry Library in the basement of the Perry-Houston County Courthouse to pick out books to read. She "awarded" me many "Gold Stars" for the Summer Reading Program each year.
A wonderful person as well as Mr. Houser
While in my work at Summerhill, I enjoyed knowing and spending time with Alice. She was a highly spirited lady and always smiling. She will be missed.
I am sorry for your loss and pray that God will comfort you during this time as only He can. What a special lady, Mrs. Gilbert was. Her life was an inspiration to me and now heaven has a new special angel.
Bobby, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Alice was my mother's neighbor at Summerhill in Perry. She and I talked about you often. She was a real pleasure to know and had a keen mind.
When I was a child, I loved going to the library when it was in the basement of the courthouse. Mrs. Gilbert would help me select each blueback biography that I loved so much. She was a very special lady.
We knew Alice as a friend and will miss her as we know the family will. Our thoughts are with you.
David and Sara,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs. Gilbert was an amazing woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
I thought the world of Miss Alice. She was a wonderful woman, and I enjoyed spending time with her and listening to her lifetime stories that she shared with me. Though it had been awhile since we had spoken, I will always cherish the memories that I have of her.
