Dear Gambrell Family,
We were saddened to hear of Johnny's passing. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers. May the God that created us all be with you and comfort you during this time of distress and healing. God bless you all. Dorothy and J.C. Mason

Dear Gambrell Family I'm so very Sorry for Your Loss! My Thoughts and Prayers are with You and Your Family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for this great loss. I know this leaves a huge empty space in your family as he was larger than life. I am glad you had each other all those years. Prayers for you all.

Jody & I have your entire family in our prayers during this time of sadness.  Looking at the photos it's easy to see how Johnny enjoyed life & how much his family meant to him.  He will be missed, but has left many many memories to celebrate his wonderful life.  God Bless.  Zeke & Jody Zietak

I am sitting here looking at the video with tears streaming down my face - so many happy memories.  My love to you, Linda.  Ouida

Dear Gambrell Family - Praying for comfort and peace during this most difficult time.  I knew Mr. Gambrell to be a very loving grandparent to one of my girls, Ashton! Love to all! - Connie Hamilton

My very deepest sympathy to all of you.  Johnny was a wonderful influence on a great family.  I'm so glad you have each other to depend on during this time of great grief.

Please accept my condolence on the loss of your beloved Johnny.  Thoughts and prayers for strength and comfort will continue to be with you and your family.

Story book romance, story book life, story book ending; we should all be so blessed. I got to tell you every time I see a young person with a Mohawk hair cut I say to myself, Johnny and I had one of those back in the day together with some stylish fedora hats. Linda, I will be out of town on the 6th, however the Gambrell Family will be on the Hopkins family prayer list.

I met Mr. and Mrs. Gambrell while I was a young man as an asst. at Woodcrest C.C. They were always club favorites, and always loving and happy. Later in life I was able to call Mr. Gambrell's sons my friends, so I have had the privilege of knowing the Gambrell's for many years now. My heart broke hearing the news this past week because I knew how much he was loved by his family and friends and how much he will be missed by all. My love and condolences to all the Gambrell family. Oscar

Sweet Linda, from the time I ran away with you to be married until the last time I saw you in your home around a month ago, my memories of you and Johnny are wonderful.  Such loving spirits moved into the treatment of your friends and I feel extremely lucky to be among the masses.  Your two handsome sons also carry the reputation of friendliness, kindness, and caring. Your marriage and parenting will forever be remembered as outstanding. We'll all miss Johnny so much, but our prayers will be for you and your boys to find extra strength in the days ahead, through your strong faith.  I love you, precious friend.   Carolyn Owens (Fort Worth, TX)

Linda, my heart aches for you and your family.  A love story like yours and Johnny's does not come along very often.  Praying for the peace of God to surround you during the days ahead.  Love you Linda, Minnie

Linda and family my heart aches for all of you.  Linda we know you have hard times ahead to adjust. You are a super strong person when you have to be, this is one of those times. Hang in there , your friends are here, just call.
