Mrs. Gordon was always so pleasant to our family. I secretly envied the fact that she had four girls who were raised with a loving hand and kind heart. May she be at peace with the angels and may her family hold tight to their cherished memories of her.

I miss you so much Mom Mom, you were the best grandmother I could ask for. I could go on and on about how much I love you. You were such a generous spirit, with your time, love, knowledge and humor. You're the best. I love you, very much. Forever and a day. ❤❤

Dear Bill, Darlene, Meredith, Allison, and Robin; I have so many wonderful memories growing up with my cousin Jackie. In the scattered times we got to spend together as adults, it was always as though no time had elapsed since our last visit. Girls, it hurts my heart that you lost her so soon. She has given you such a great example to live by, and I know that the precious memories you have built with her will comfort you for the rest of your lives. Love you all

I love you mom, I don't want to believe I'm reading your obituary. I am broken, just broken. I will move on but there are no words to describe this pain as you know. You were the best mother and grandmother to this family, so generous with your time and love. There aren't enough hours in a day to describe how many lives you've touched. You are an angel. I love you I love you I love you, always and forever!!
