My sincere sympathy to you,Buck, and your entire family. Kathy was genuine, sincere, loving, and compassionate. Quick to say, come on over, or lets get together for lunch. She loved "gatherings". Kathy was a gift to all, and our love and memories never die. May God give you His peace and comfort you. Tourny Squire,high school class-mate.

Growing up in a small town like Milton, we experienced the friendship of many families. I hold those experiences as treasured memories and the Gordon family was a big part of them! Kathy will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Buck and "the kids".
Peace,

From the ocean beaches to Riffe Lake, from Lincoln Rock State Park to Willapa Valley golf course, Harstine Island and Yuma, AZ., one thing that never changed was Kathleen. Fun loving, golf playing, always ready to teach you a new card game. Kathy loved her family and loved life. Our hearts were touched by her gentle spirit. We will miss Kathleen. Our thoughts and prayers are with Buck and the family. God Bless all of you.

We will miss you Kathy. Our memories include many joint family activities during our children's school years. Also the activities of the fire department, When the children grew up and had families of their own we started having camp-outs with them and their children. Many memories of camping with the Millers, Howard and Gordon families. We are so sorry we are not in town to give all of the family a hug. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Our condolences to Buck and his family. Love, Dean and Avonne
