Gordie always had a kind word every time he seen me and my dog walking down the street. He would always remark about the energy she had for being and old girl. Lisa, Leighann and Laura please find comfort that Gordie is in a better place and free from pain. Now he walks with the angels and watches over you. I pray that God will give you strength and comfort at this very difficult time.
