Darel: So sorry to hear about Hisako's passing..my sincerest condolences. You may not remember me, but your father, Jack Gore was married to my grandma Vi Gore. He was the best grandpa I could have ever asked for! I still have the teddy bear he bought for me before I was born and I will be 70 this year. Marietta was my mother and Neil Christenson my father, both deceased now. I have often wondered about you and your family. If you wish to touch bases, my home # is 406-756-5843. Best regards and again, so sorry for your loss. Cheri Christenson Taylor

Dear Mr. Gore,
I don't know if you remember me or not but I grew up next door. I will always remember Mrs. Gore, she was always so nice to me. After having our daughter she embroidered the most beautiful picture for Jennys wall. It hung in her bedroom for years. I'm so sorry for you loss. Love, Tracy Lanphere Onustack

My brother and sister-in-law lived next door to the Gore's. I always remember her beautiful garden and well-manicured lawn.
