Debra Gibson wrote a sympathy message

“I just learned of my Aunt Chick's passing today, oddly through an ancestry.com "hint". I had been thinking about her over the holidays, and this news fills me with sadness. She was the last survivor among the seven Gibson siblings of whom my dad Richard was the eldest. It is the end of a generation and era. Though we seldom stay in touch, my love and deepest condolences go out to my cousin Ruthie, her brother and sisters, and my aunt's entire extended, loving family. In sympathy, Debbie Gibson”
