Not sure what to say?

Dear Dottie:
Sorry to hear about Gordon's passing. He will always be remembered for his great contributions to the City. I will also remember the fun times we had with the photographs. Gordon and you will be in our prayers.

Dear Aunt Dot, We were, indeed, saddened by the news that Uncle Gordy had passed away last week. Charles has many fond memories of the two of you while growing up in Bethlehem. We think of you with love and you will be in our prayers.
Charles and Kathleen Coleman

Dear Aunt Dotie,
So sorry to hear about Uncle Gordon, our prayers will be with you. I will always remember Uncle Gordon as mayor, for he took me (us) on a tour one year of the mayor's office, and oh how impressed I was as a child, that my uncle was Mayor of Bethlehem. And so was my Mother, his older sister Lillian.
God Bless.

Dear Dottie;
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. You and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mary Sweeney

Dear Dottie,
Please accept our sincere condolences. Gordie was a great leader who gave meaning and purpose to the Jaycees in Bethlehem and later to the city as a whole, Working with him and others to get our charter changed to the strong mayor form of government and then later to get him elected to Mayor was a special experience for all of us. His performance as mayor clearly vindicated our support. Our prayers are with you. Love, George and Carolyn

Our deepest sympathy and loving prayers. Gordon will long be remembered for his contributions to the City of Bethlehem. He will be sorely missed by all.

My deepest sympathy to Dottie. Gordie was really a special man and admired by many. He certainly will be missed.
