Dear Helen and Family: Grand Master Gilbert had a great influence on my Masonic Life. He will be missed by all the Masonic community. There are special people that are put on this earth for a reason and Grand Master Gilbert was one of them. I thank God every day for introducing me to Masonry and introducing me to Grand Master Gilbert.
I will be unable to attend today, I wanted to inform you. May the great Architect of the universe watch over you and your family. God Bless you.

May TGAOTU look after his soul in that house not made with hands.
