Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your love one Gordon. May you find peace and comfort in the God of all comfort.

We were saddened to hear of Gordon's passing. He lived a wonderful life and loved his family so much. He was a very kind and gentle man. We are so fortunate to have known him. We have such great memories. Our hearts and prayers go out to Billie and the rest of the Davis family during this difficult time. Remember all the great times you had with him, what memories you have.

The Anderson family wishes to express our sincere condolences to Billie and the rest of the family. It has been our privilege to have known Gordon and Billie for 50 plus years.
