Gorham was always cheerful and joking. He was my sweet daddy’s cousin, James Elvin loved him so. May he be reunited with all his love ones gone on before. Prayers of comfort for all the family.
Praying the Lord is wrapping His arms around you all and you feel His loving presence. Mr. Herbert had a warm smile and some funny stories! I’m sorry for these sad days. He said he knew he was going to heaven, praise God. Sending love…Leslie

What a precious family. So sorry for your loss. Praying God give you peace during this time and always.
Cyndi, I am very sorry for your loss. It is hard to get use to not having a Dad around to talk to when you need to and only Dad will do. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God bless and keep you all.

I have a memory of him that holds a special place in my heart and home. He made a piece of furniture for my mother that I have in my dinning room. He was a very talented and good hearted man. My parents thought so much of him and his lovely wife. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Travis, David & Austin, I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of your grandaddy. My thought and prayers are with you all and the entire family during this time.
What is said about Herberts friendliness is certainly true!. It is sad to see him go so soon because he made this part of the world a better place.
With our deepest sympathy, love and prayers to Gorham’s family
and friends. My dad , Harold Joyner
and Gorham were cousins.

Remembering Gorham today. Wishing you all comfort and peace during this difficult time. Gorham would make time to stop to see my mom when he was in the area. He always had a smile and happy presence. He will be missed by all that loved him.
