Not sure what to say?

With all my sympathy and love to the entire family, whom I have known most of my life.

We will miss you very much, Love Ann

Helen, we go back a long way, since I was a teenager. Many an evening we spent at the ElDorado Ballroom listening to Charles with Milton Larkins band. I still 'see' you bouncing your head to the beat. You never forgot cause you did the same 'head bounce' to jazz music when your dreadful ailment would let you say only "goody,goody". What great fun we had in the good old days. Bet Charles met you at the gate playing his drums along with Gabriel's trumpet so you could do the two step into the...

MUCH LOVE AND CONDOLENCES TO ALL THE FAMILY, I ONLY MET HER A FEW TIMES BUT FOUND HER TO BE A VERY LOVING MOTHER AND SO PROUD OF HER FAMILY. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER EYES AND SMILING FACE. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HAVE MET HER.

first and foremost, i would like to send my condolences to the Gordon family. i am terribly sorry for the loss of what i KNOW was a wonderful person. i heard so much about her. my only regrets is that i never got the chance to meet and shake the hand of the woman who raised the most AWESOME family in the world. i feel as though the Gordons are all a piece of family to me and Miss NANA, you did a great job and im so happy/proud to be a part of what you created. one day, in heaven im gonna come...

Mom, I miss you so much and I can't believe that you have been gone for a month! There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think of you. All the good times we had - - from the circus to rock concerts, and from Reno to sleep overs at my house. You were not only my mom, but my best friend. As your disease progressed, I felt as if you became the child I never had and I was the mother. I am so lucky to have spent your last two days on earth with you and to be one of your children at your...

Dear Gordon Family:
I have wonderful memories of your Mom, she always had an open door and heart as well. I am thankful for the fun memories of just being in the Gordon family home. May God give you all comfort. All my Love

I will always remember Helen as a loving, generous spirit, and a "live life to the fullest" kind of person. We always want more time with loved ones, but since that can't happen now, I'll take some consolation in picturing Helen smiling down at all her family and friends from heaven and wishing us well.

We will miss you so much NANA...Linda Mar isn't desame without you there. We will never forget your beautiful smile and all your "goody goodys!!!" I love you nana...
