Gordon E. Ike

A Year has gone by since you walked through the gates of heaven, we know God received you with open arms, how selfish we are to want our loved ones here with us, and you are among the ones we loved the most. Time may ease the loneliness, however you will never be forgotten, and you will be forever missed by all of us who love you. You would be so proud of Terri, she is a real trooper. I know she has her moments, but she shows more courage than I am sure I would. We know you continue to watch...

Dad,

I can't believe it has already been a year. I wish I could talk to you and ask you about heaven. Is it as wonderful as they say? How does it feel living with the Lord and seeing your parents and brother again? I hope and pray you are having a fantastic time up there. You sure earned it......

We all love and miss you so much and always will. Mom is doing such a great job holding down the fort. You would be so proud. She even gets out and shovels the driveway...

Tomorrow it will be a year since this world lost Gordy Ike and in a way, it went real fast. One thing that hasn't gone fast is the pain that all of Gordy's loved ones feel. That pain will not leave. John and Gordy were and always will be best friends. Terry and Gordy will always be that couple only people dream of being. I thank God I grew up where I did. In 3 States, the street of Illinois in the city of Wyoming in the State of Michigan. You'd think that would be special enough, but...

God's Garden by unknown

God looked around his garden,
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
and lifted you to rest;
God's garden must be beautiful
he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain;
He knew you would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and hills were hard to climb
