So sorry to hear about Earl. He was a very generous, sweet and fun man to be around.

Dear Gilbert Family:

We extend our condolences. Earl was such a warm and friendly person. It was a joy to be with him. He has left a wonderful family and legacy.

He and Sadie will always bein our hearts.

Chris:
My condolences to you and your family. Your father certainly lived a very full life and accomplished so very much. No wonder our alma mater, SBISD and MHS, have such great reputations--they had a strong foundation.
May wonderful memories you have of your father keep him always close to your hearts.

Hi Sharon and family.  I have wonderful childhood memories of all the time I spent at your house with your loving family.  Both of your parents were so special and I'm grateful to all of my surrogate mothers and fathers of Spring Branch in the 50s.  Earl and Sadie are at the top of the list.

My sincere condolences to the family at this most difficult time. May the God of all comfort provide you with whatever is needed so you can cope with your great loss. Psalms 83 : 18.

Mr. Gilbert's service Friday was a beautiful tribute to a grand man.  I only knew him a third of a century, but what a charming, delightful family man he was.

Sadie and Earl are together again.Sadie was Earls greatest Love of his life and they will be together for Eternity.

Dear Brad and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss.  Earl led an amazing life as is evident by the love he and Sadie gave to all of you!
Much love,
Laura Spiczka Beinke

Dear Brad and Gilbert Family,

Pam and Chris and the whole Gilbert family--how saddened Woody and I are upon learning of Earl's death. What a great friendship he and Joe Flack had beginning when they both served on the Spring Branch ISD school board  We have heard funny stories of their times together  We will pray for Gods grace and protection for all of you as you travel this difficult road. With love. Kate and Woody Scott

Chris and Family,

My Condolences to the Gilbert family.Earl was such a Great Guy and alway's made me feel welcome.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The death of a loved one can truly be a devastating time. Whenever I experience trying times like this, I think of Phillipians4:6,7 where it encourages us to turn to God in prayer and he will give us "the peace of God that surpasses all understanding." I hope this can bring you some measure of comfort.

My Condolences to the Gilbert Family, may God Bless you at this time of Sorrow.

Lupe Alcala
