Praying for all of you in this difficult time. So sorry I couldn't be there in person to give my condolences. I love you guys and please let me know if there's anything that I can do.
Praying peace over your family for you Grover till you all meet again.
I remember when I was a little girl my Mother Blanche Camp also worked at SearsSears and she used to carpool with Grover and others. She has been gone 21 years and I am sure they will see each other again in our heavenly home. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
First of all, our thoughts and prayers go out for Mrs. Mary, Penny and Pete for the loss of Brother Grover. We know that God's all sufficient grace will help you through these times of sorrow and heartache.
Grover will be missed. To know Grover was to love him. It was always a joy to spend time with him. His door was always open to guests. We enjoyed his sense of humor and upbeat attitude. He was always a very gracious and generous man. You could see his caring and compassionate attitude by the way he cared about people and what they were going through and how he could help. He put God and family first. His care for his mother and sister, at personal sacrifice to himself, showed his integrity and devotion. He always took care of and spoke in loving terms about Penny. You knew she had her Papa wrapped around her fingers, but he loved to be there for her. He always loved and appreciated all the help he got from Mrs. Mary. His selfless and caring ways are a great example for all of his to follow. He loved his country and proudly served her in the Army. Alas, it will be another empty seat at his reunion with his Army friends, but he is in a better place. We praise God that brother Grover is in the presence of His Lord. All his ailments are a thing of the past. We will bury his body in the ground, but his memory will always be in our hearts.
We love you, Papa Gibson, thanks for being part of our lives!

Grover, you'll forever be in our hearts! Travel safe my friend! -Brian & Sandy
Anyone who knew or met Grover in his retirement years would know that he was a man of commitment. His first loyalty was always to God and his family, who he spoke of lovingly and often. His next priority was looking after the grounds and chapel at Davis Cemetery because those he loved were laid to rest there. It was of utmost importance to him that those hallowed grounds were maintained properly. We want to publicly thank Grover for all he did all across the years to preserve the resting place of all our
families, not just his. He had a reputation for doing what it took to keep things in order at Davis Cemetery. He unashamedly asked for funds that were needed to keep the grounds maintained and the chapel presentable for use. Our challenge is look after his resting place with the love and dedication he demonstrated year in and year out. We loved Grover and he will be greatly missed.
