What Family and Friends Say About Ali Gilmore

four long years
I woke up this morning, looked at the calendar on my wall and took a deep sigh, thinking, “These have, by far, been the longest four years of my life.” I never even knew it was possible to miss someone as much as I miss her. Although, I make it to work everyday and try my best to live with some sort of normalcy, the last four years have felt anything but normal. My life some how feels at a stand-still. I said a prayer this morning as I’ve prayed a million times since her disappearance to let today be the day that we hear something from the someone out there who knows what happened. If not for me, or for Ali’s family…do it for Ali, she deserves that much. And on that slightest notion that Ali is still out there, and has assumed a new identity, and she just happens to read this, I want her to know how much I love her and miss her and regret anything I had to do with our separation. I already know that I want sleep well tonight. I love you always my Ali I’isha.

Still Missing You
Ali, Time has notlessened the pain. I still miss you as much as ever. Tomorrow will be the 4th anniversary of your disapearance. Surely by now we thought we would know something or have some closure. This is painful for Ali's mother, sisters, brothers, cousins and the entire family. Ali has impacted many lives. If I could just hear her voice one more time or see her smile light up a room, I would be so happy. Ali we will never stop missing you and we will never give up hope.

Thinking and Praying
Hi Ali!! Even though I did not know you for a long time, I think of your words of encouragement often. I remember when my family and I came to your new house right after you moved in and we walked around the park and talked. Also the hours we spent on your porch and the knowledge and encouragement you bestowed upon me about going to school at FAMU and enjoying every moment of it while it last. How you talked about your flowers you had planted in your yard to the purple room you painted all by yourself. Thanks for the conversation and even though it was small talk, it was important and special because we related to one another. Luv ya!!!

3 Years too Long
I couldn't believe it has been 3 years now. Ali's birthday passed so quietly, no mention in the news. I still wonder if the baby is a boy or girl, 2 1/2 now. I really hoped that by now she would have been home sharing her child with the family and her online friends. I still think of you often and keep your family in my prayers. May God keep and prtoect your family and keep them strong. Bless you all.

I won't forget you Ali
I know it has been a long time,but God's time is not our time, and His ways are not our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
I still believe that one day God is going to reveal through someone where you are. My prayers are with your family because I know how hard it is to not have closure.

~ Barbara Jean Hard, Co-Worker ~ 02-06-2009

3 yr anniversary
Well todays the 3yr anniversary of your disappearance Ali and only god knows where you are. But I wanted to let you know that we still think of you everyday not just this day. We Love you and miss you Ali and we know that one day we will have closure and see your pretty smile again. And I still pray the same prayer 3 yrs later. Let those involved in your disappearance have many more sleepless nights and get no peace of mind because someone know's something. Can't nobody tell me different. Luv you Sam

~ Gloria Grimsley-Nious, !st cousin ~ 02-03-2009

I miss you Ali!!
I check here often and haven't left a message in a while but I am compelled to say today that I miss you Ali. I was recently at home cleaning out our family shed with my sisters and brother, and I came across a graduation card from you and I remember the outfit you got me to go along with it. That was 1996. You were like a sister to me. I was always able to talk to you when I couldn't always talk to my sisters. I love you Ali, and though I don't not post much I think about you constantly. And I need you to make me a chocolate cake.

~ Yvonne Allen, Friend ~ 01-06-2009

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday Ali! To the family: Please don't give up because miracles do happen. Yes, it has been some years, but God works around the clock. I think about Ali all the time. The hardest part for me would be-not knowing what happened to her. Hopefully by the grace of God, the family will soon find closure.

~ Kym Massey, No relationship ~ 01-05-2009

Question
Hello Everyone. It has been awhile since I have posted here but Ali is never out of my thoughts. I can't believe 2 years have passed already. I will be making another post on Ali on our blog soon. I was wondering if Ali wore any other jewelry besides the wedding band. And if anyone has any idea what she was wearing the day she vanished. Thanks everyone, blessed be to all.
