I have only the fondest of memories of Mrs Gordon and the Gordon family. While my childhood memories remain vivid and fresh, untouched by life; the final words she spoke to me on this side of heaven after the passing of my father remained etched in my heart and mind. They were words of comfort, strength, and hope to move forward. It is my prayer that the Lord will do for all of you, what He and Mrs Gordon did for me.

Love,

Kirk D. Moore
