Gilmer was a true ambassador  of Christ. He lived  for Jesus in everything he did as we observed him. His pleasant smile and kind demeanor was always refreshing and reassuring when we interacted with him. He will truly be missed, however, as he rests and waits for the Lord's return we wish to extend the love, peace and blessings to his family for a life well lived. May Gilmer rest in peace until Jesus comes again.
Kind regards , from Del & Norma Blake

My deepest sympathies for the loss of your dad and spouse.  I will never forget Gilmer greeting me at our church, especially when I was new.  He always had a genuine smile and kind words.  He was a fabulous Sabbath School teacher and a fine gentleman.  I always felt like part of his family.  I look forward to seeing him again in eternity.  Με αγάπη, Sandra 

I feel so truly blessed to have grown up in a community, surrounded by people like Mr. Whidden. Daddy(Dewey Boyd) called him Gilmer  but to me, no matter how old I have become he is always sweet Mr. Whidden with the world's best smile and a great sense of humor.
My memories are of laughter, kindness, strength and Godly genuineness.
With great love comes great loss...and he was greatly loved.
