Lisa, Jessica and Tony,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was one of the outstanding people in my life growing up. I wish I had known sooner so I could have paid her a more proper tribute. Ill never forget the faith and confidence she had in me growing up and the times both of our families shared together. May she Rest in Peace.

Sorry for being late, I didn't realize that your mother has passed. My deepest sympathy. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Lisa, Jessica, and Tony

I was so honored when I greeted your Mom at my Dad's wake. Her sisters said that she insisted she come eventhough she was so sick. (April 9th). I have been praying for her ever since. I have such fond memories. We were not best friends but she was one of the nicest people I knew. I was reminding JD that I met her when JD and Tony were at Mrs. Conley's at preschool. And then again when the boys were in Pop Warner. I have always loved all the Gordon brothers(Richie) and sisters. There are no words to console you but she is at peace. Her warm smile and loving personality always shone through. My continued prayers are with all three of you. I'm so sorry I missed the wake and funeral. I was away at the time.
