It was with great sadness that I heard of Gordon's death. What a loss for you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers.Though I have not seen him in many years I remember fondly what a sweet guy he was. I feel fortunate he touched my life in even a small way.

God Bless You

Dear Auntie Camille,

I wish we all could be there for you right now. Forrest might be a welcome distraction for you! Truman could ask you questions over and over until you forgot about your sorrows. John could bore you with architecture anecdotes, and I could give you a big hug. We miss you and send lots of love to you, Michelle, Micheal, Ethan and Nathanial. I love you, Kimmy

Camille & Family, I just want to let you know that you have been in my prayers in this entire journey. Things did not work the way any of us wanted but as we all know, its "God's time not our time". I will keep you in my prayers as you journey yet another period of adjustment. Gordon was a good man and no better words could be spoken or thought.
