Mrs. Gordier was one-of-a-kind! I attended Benedictine High School with her daughter, Lori. Whenever "the girls" would go out, Mrs. Gordier would have to get the scoop on the evening's events. I am going to miss her, just as I miss Lori. May she rest in peace.

Please accept my deepest sympathy
in the passing of your Mom. She
will always be remembered for her
bubbly personality and warm smile.
She was a patient of Dr. Sheldon's
while I was employed there and always gave me a friendly hello
when she came into the office.
Sincerely,

I met "Red" at the nursing home while my mother was also a resident there. She touched my heart with her friendly personality. After my mother was dicharged home, I visited with Red on several occasions. She made me laugh with some of her stories and we both cried over other stories. Although we only knew each other for a few weeks, the friendship we built was everlasting. I loved her like family and I thank God she came into my life. My sympathy goes to the entire family and friends.
