Dear Gordon,
I found these photos of you in my collection. One is of you getting ready for work. I always admired your hard work ethic.
The second photo is of you and two friends. You certainly had close friends who appreciated you.
The third photo is of you dressed up to go out. You were always meticulous about your appearance.
I want to take this opportunity (since I didn´t get to tell you before you past), that I appreciated you and our time together when we dated.
My hope is that you are at rest in the arms of Our Lord.
I continue to pray for you till this day.
Rest in peace my friend,
Jean

May the memories you hold dear keep you during this difficult time--I remember Gord from both Memorial Junior High as well as Vineland High School--my best memory of him is playing in a band for a talent show many years ago at Memorial--may you find comfort in time
