To The Gordon family. I love you all. Losing a mama is a hard pill to swallow. There are going to be alot of tough days ahead of you, trust me I know. Look to the hills for strength. Pray daily and stick close together. Your mother was a true jewel. I remember growing up in Lutcher and coming to the record shop for candies and seeing your mom and dad. They gave to us unconditionally. She will be missed by everyone heart that she touched.She also produced some good nurses, like myself. Always gave an encouraging word. her light is shining down from heaven today and always. She was a true Florence Nightingale. Trust in God, he will see u through.

Mrs. Gordon was a blessing to me, my family, and to so many others in her walk of life. Words can't express how beautiful, great, and resilient this Woman of God was in her faith and in her life. Mrs. Gordon always led by example in faith, mercy, and compassion. She treated everyone with kindness and shared her blessings with so many people, as well as her loving heart. To the Gordon Family, God won't take you where his love can't keep you, know that our prayers are with you, we love you all, and that you have our deepest sympathy. Love April
