GORDON RAINEY

Lin --

Demaris and I am so very sorry to learn of Gordon's passing. We really regret not visiting with you both. I still have right here in my office that box you and Gordon gave me when we were at the White House -- such a thoughtful gesture, but even more special was a chance to spend a little time with you.

As you may know, Gordon was, for me, a great role model. He taught me to play a trumpet, of course, but even more importantly he taught me about life.

I hope...

I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of Gordon. I was in the U. of FL Life Study Program with Gordon--he was such a vital member of our class and we shall miss him dearly. He was truly a charming person--I always thought of him as a perfect Southern Gentleman. May God be with each of you in your loss.

Lin, I want you to know that you and Gordon were a great example to me of how to do marriage right. I value your friendship and we are praying for you during this time. Keep the faith! JP

Gordon was such a wonderful, gentle man and always brought a smile to my face. He truly loved his family - and I know he will be greatly missed. My heart & prayers are with you - Cindy @ Dr. Schumacher's.

May the family find comfort in the memories. Keeping in mind the Scriptural hope of everlasting life can help to sustain us during difficult times (John 17:3)
