Gladys, You and Gordon have always been such dear people. You were always so loving and nurturing to me and my brothers. Gordon was a true gentleman, loving father and lover of the Lord. He and my mother are probably sharing stories right now! One more angel to greet us when we meet again in heaven! I love you Gladys. Sheila

Uncle Gordan was a Dad to me at times when I needed him most. He and Auntie have been 'Angels on Assignment' in my life and the lives of so many other people! I will always cherish the memories, and look forward to the day we are ALL reunited in Heaven. See you again Uncle Gordan... Lots of love, Linda
