Dear Mrs. Gold, Kathy, Laura, and Family,

I am Steve Kujawa, Jessie McElveen Kujawa's eldest son. I was saddened to read of Mr. Gold's passing today, yet I have so many fond memories of your family's visits to see your parents, Mr. & Mrs Hardy, and Mr. Gold taking the time to listen to even the silliest of stories (a.k.a. adventures) of mine, Joe's, or Susan's. My Dad and Mom thought the world of you both, as well as Kathy & Laura. I will always remember that long porch and swing with Mr. Gold reveling in the fellowship of family. He is now with the Mr. & Mrs. Hardy in a spiritual building, that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers and I will remember Mr. Gold at Mass here in Houston.

Love in Jesus,

I will miss Mr. Gold watching my house at night. He made me feed so secure. He was a southern gentleman. Heaven is going to enjoy having him there.

Dear Mrs. Gold, Kathy & Ray:
We are so sorry to hear about Mr. Gold.
He was such a kind and thoughtful man and made us boxes everytime we visited with the children. He will truly be missed by all the lives he touched.
God bless you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies go out to June, Kathy and Laurie and their families. This is a time that words seem so inadequate but remember the fun times you had with Herm and that helps the pain. I wish I could be there with you but distance does hinder that. Know that I am thinking and praying for all of you at this time but also know that Herm is in a much better place and in no pain. That was a comfort to me seven years ago. I love you all. Irma Johnson
