    We were saddened to hear about Mr. Gambrell’s passing. We have known his daughter, Rhonda, for many years as our hair stylist. We feel like we know other members of the family as we have heard Rhonda mention them while cutting/styling hair. Please know your friends and loved ones are praying for peace and comfort in the hard days ahead. The Lord be with all of you.
