Not sure what to say?

Dear Mrs. Gauldin & Family,
I am very sorry to hear about Mr. Gauldin. My brother & I were both managers at Northlakes Swim club and cared about him very much. He was like a father to both of us, when he showed up at the pool we sat up straight. He was tough but always fair. He had a way of "getting after us" then letting us know he wasn't mad by making us laugh or just putting his hand on our shoulder with a little shake and say " Now you knew better than that didn't you". I have...

Dearest Lynne,

I was so sorry to hear about your dad. I have thought of him and your whole family throughout the years which always brings a smile. I hate that we have not kept in touch and would love to change that. You are all in my prayers! Love, Teresa

I remember him as Doyle, the cousin who was just enough older than I for me to look up to him, and as such he was an important part of my childhood. Over the years, I did not see him as much, just an occasional family reunion or funeral, but every now and then a message from him would pop up on my computer, and it would brighten my day. I will never forget his kindness and that very sweet smile. It is good to know that he is free of pain and is with his son and Aunt Effie, Uncle Geoffrey,...

Dear Mrs. Gauldin and family,
Our family was blessed to have known Mr. Gauldin for the past 10 years. When I think of my children growing up, I will remember both of you and our visits to your home. My children love you and think of you as family.
I will miss Mr. Gauldin very much.
I am happy to know he is with our Savior, Jesus. I know he has a special spot in heaven and maybe a even his own computer. I hope your will be comforted by that thought and by your loving...

I wish I had met your dad. It seems he was a wonderful father. My heart is with you. Love, BJ

Jackie, Lois, Carol, & Lynne,

Thank you for giving me the chance to assist with Jimmy's care. He was so easy to love. A good husband, father and friend. He loved you all dearly and you loved him well.

Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, the WPT and NASCAR will never be the same without him. I'll think of him and miss him when they are on and he's not there to explain them to me or to play the games with me.

Jimmy was such a sweet, patient, intelligent man. I'll miss his...

Oh Daddy, I don't know how I'm going to get by without you! But somehow I will, and I'll try my best to make you proud. Us girls will take good care of Momma and each other, just like you always have. I love you so much Daddy!

I was fortunate to have met and worked for Jimmie, he was quite the character. I will miss him much. My prayers are with this family through this difficult time. Minnie Taylor

To all the family, my deepest sympathy to you all. I was blessed to have gotten to meet and care for Jimmie, he was a sweetheart. I got a few laughs out of him. I will truly miss him. I have no one to watch the race with me.....
