My hugs and love go out to your family on this day. You were larger than life itself and you always told me I was enough. It took me 15 years without you to hear you. I´m getting it right now. Another year without an appendage to tie me down or keep me emotionally stunted and it feels great. I feel you watching over me in all I do. You were my truest of friends and honestly taught me to live each day to the fullest. The only difference is I´m doing it with plans of being here on this earth taking in her beauty and wonder and not letting life pass me by. Hear me Roar!!
Thank you for my inner voice finding words to paper. In your honor I write.
Love Always,
Dela

I am deeply saddened to come across this obituary. I knew Gordon back in the late 1990's when I was at UofA. He was the sweetest guy. It warms my heart to see the wonderful tributes left for him by other and reinforces in my mind truly how wonder of a person he was. May the happiness of the memory of Gordon comfort those who were fortunate enough to cross his path.
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HRART.

Hello my Angel.
I've noticed you running through my thoughts and occupying my mind taking up space I've left behind. Wondering why and how you are and if I'm creating the life you saw for me thus far? You were so much more than just my friend. We were Best Friends. We could've been so much more than just friends and you go on proving this with the love of your mom and family even now as I cling to memories of you from what seems like memories of a lifetime ago that we shared and only you and possibly god know when we're destined to meet again. Continue to watch over me as I honor your love and memory in all I strive to be and let others see in me what you knew was there all along. To you, to me, to Us; until we meet again.

I have thought of many ways to memorialize you on the 7th anniversary since you were welcomed into Heaven. But, it all came back to once thing, I miss your laugh, smile, love and most important YOU! While I can hear your voice and laughter in your little brother, your sweet smile and blue eyes in your nephew Trace, and your mischievous pranks in your sister Trina, it isn't the same without you. My dear son, you are always on mind, in my thoughts and in my heart! Until we meet again...loving and missing you forever! Rest peacefully... 12/3/76-4/28/2009

Holidays are especially hard without you. I worked yesterday on Thanksgiving with an emptiness masking it with a joker smile. Telling myself all day that I was feeling that way because I was at work for twelve hours on Thanksgiving. On the drive home that night I let my thoughts run wild. We loved our holiday gatherings more then anyone! Partners in crime! No one could make fun of our parents better then us. Everything was an inside joke LOL!! I took over the holidays after you past away. I could see that everyone was withering around me without you. I cooked every Turkey dinner since you past (except yesterday) & I tryed to keep the family excited about xmas this whole time. I have unbreakable walls built up around my heart but last night driving home you crept in and a hundred tears fell from my eyes. I love you always.

I try so hard not to think of you as being gone. I have been so blessed these last 5 years that I feel it is you beside me always. I love you more than words can say and miss you as much as I miss my boys. I love you my bff. You made life for me fun and inspired me to be more than I was and if ever I needed a friend to shoot from the hip with the truth you were there whether I liked the answer or not. I miss that honesty and more than anything I miss your smile and "Gyrll" when we would talk. I miss IHOP and DENNY's, I miss the Ren Fair, but of all those good times I also miss more than anything just being able to hug you.
I miss waking up to you on my couch and hanging out over coffee and late nights.
You knew me then and I know you watch over me now. I do not have to believe in God to believe in Angles for I know I have you. I was blessed to know you and I am blessed to have the memories I have of us. I love you Gordy.

I am never slone, for In your arms I have found a place where I can rest. I am never in fear for I know that you are still near. I am looking at life with a new grace. It is because of you that I have strength. It is for you that I celebrate our friendship today and always. You loved me when I could not love myself and taught me to give myself a new perspective that I still try to remember when my life starts to take a life of it's own and because of you i have grown it to the woman I am today through adversityand with humiality. You will always be my friend, but I know now that you are also my angel and I thank you for spreading your wings over me and sheltering me this last few months and most of all for knowing when to give me the will to soar and be more than I was yesterday and a little more tomorrow than I am today for you love and friendship, even though you are gone have carried. Happy Birthday, Gordy...My Angel. PS: I hope you are enjoying your new status and that you are virual. You always had to have some new gadget that was high tech and now you are apart of that world thanks to all of us here who live in your grace and cary with us a part of you every day. I love you, Dela...AKA~MsyDe.

It's the little things I miss the most. Your voice still lingers in my ear and your touch I often felt when in need of comfort now surrounds me with memories that we shared and more than anything I am grateful you were there. My life has finally, come full circle and I can really picture you guiding me and reassuring me that the choices I have made, although difficult, needed to be made. I do not know if there is a heaven, but I do know there are "Angels" for you are with me as no one else could be and this makes me believe. I love and miss you friend and when the time comes...I will welcome you with open arms, for now it is faith in you and this moment that I welcome and I grow learning to love myself 1st like you always taught me. I hope the view from wherever you are shows you the beauty that is Alaska when you see me.
Love Always and Aloha,

To my guardian angel and best friend. There is no day that goes by that I do not feel you with me. I miss you terribly so. Life is not the same without you. However, I am sure Heaven felt the same way when they granted you your wings. Thinking of you fondly on your birthday. Happy Birthday, Gordy.

Who ever said that today was the first day of a new beginning in my life was not aware that I would have so many new beginnings. I miss you, friend. I miss your laughter and how you could always make me smile, but most of all I miss being able to run to you when the world closes in on me. Walter and I are separated and I pray you are there watching over him and guiding him back to me. I can't imagine my life without him and you both. He was my one connection to you and now I do not know where our love has gone. Please keep us near to you and guide us home to each other again. I miss and love you friend and life will never be the same with you gone from me.

There are times when I know you are all around me and I want to just reach out and touch you; but fear I would not feel you. So for now I inhale your essence into me and when I exhale I feel as if you have some how cleansed me body and mind and I have a renewed strength.
I am still fighting a good fight and enjoying life to it's fullest potential (my sick potential that is). I went to Karaoke last Friday and without a drink or a shot belted out some serious tunes. The group I was singing with that night did a Madonna tribute and I sighed a little sigh for you and sung "Papa Don't Preach". I always loved your performing and goofing off to her songs one could never tell what you would do. I miss you so much right now. I am a little under the weather this week but next week I will be there belting out my lungs and singing till my heart is content.
Love Always,
Aloha

I was at a party last weekend and have been thinking about you ever since. Whenever I go to parties and places I know you liked I always think of you. Beacuse even after I moved away, I could always count on running into you without trying whenever I visited. You gave the best hugs. I miss your hugs. I miss your hugs a lot.
July 15, 2010
I went to a party last week and have not been able to stop thinking of you since. It was like the ones I used to always run into you at. People were happy and smiling and dancing. You would have liked it. I am not sure if the fact that I will never run into you again will ever stop causing such utter sarrow. You gave the best hugs and I miss them.

Wow!!!...another Mother's Day without you. You were the only one who celebrated this day with me (after my boys were taken). For so long now I have carried the pain of being a mom only by my knowledge of that wonderful miracle of bringing my children into this world. Thanks to your words and wisdom all those years I remembered that although, gone from me now,(much like you are) NO ONE...can take away what they mean to me and how they changed my life for the better. It was the greatest gift anyone person could be chosen to be a part of; a child's life. I loved them then, I love them now, and in my heart they will forever be my boy's. Thank you for always remembering me on Mother's Day. I miss you so much my friend. I am still looking up to the heavens wondering if they are there with you or still here on earth me sometimes, but for the most part I think of them as always in my heart.
Love Always and Aloha,

April 29, 2010
Happy 1st Birthday, babe. I celebrated you in great splendor. I sent a message in a bottle, with your mom's blessing, from Alaska with love. Walter picked out two of the most beautiful and colorful balloons for the occasion and it was funny and comforting for I knew that you were there. We took you to Beluga Point and released the bottle first in to a very choppy tide that swirled and crashed so magnificently. It was mesmerizing. The wind howled and cut through the trees. I lost my balance several times climbing the rocks with Walter trying to find that perfect place to launch your message in a bottle. All the while you were there with me it seems for, for once I wasn't tired and out of breathe and I felt like myself again. There was so much wind though that we could not climb the rocks safely and take the balloons with us so we returned to the look-out point and waited till the time to launch them way up in the sky to the heavens to be with you. Walter and I both guess that it was fate and you not wanting to wait because the first balloon escaped and took off like a bolt of lighting and was far out of sight in seconds. However, the second one when released on time slowly ascended and descended making Walter and I think it was looming into the cars over the freeway. We laughed like we hadn't in months and watched until the wind finally caught the balloon and it slowly climbed out of sight. I am doing my best this morning to live and be "me". I look forward to the day our message in a bottle returns but for now it feels good to be able to not shed the tears I use to when I would think of you and to just cherish you. You taught me so much and I thank you for always being "You". Walter and I teased back and forth yesterday that the pounding wind was that of you flapping your angel wings all around us and wrapping us with your love. I miss you my friend as I know others who loved you do, too.
Aloha
April 6, 2010
I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

@--}- I received an email from your Mom today and found great comfort and would like to pass this on to you my friend.
Becoming the person you were meant to be: with you it was my learning how to be a mess, failure, making mistakes, disappointments, and most of all being reckless and throwing caution to the wind. Endless conversations, everywhere and anywhere. I-Hop, Denny's, at work and before work, etc. The loss of people and friends with whom I thought I could never be without that sent my heart reeling. And then my dearest and closest friend the death of you. Even now you are still touching my heart and whispering in my ear. My only hope is that I continue to "Be" and I never forget who taught me to live.
May tomorrow never come, yesterday be forgotten and today be the moment I live.
Aloha

All Fools Day was today. No jokes crossed my way as they always did. No coy laughter pursed my lips as I participated or watched you take pleasure in a practical joke, but I have smiled all day at the thought that wherever you are is not boring for anyone there. It gives me great comfort knowing that you shared your laughter with me on this day and every year All Fools Day was wonderful and I hope it is the same for you today, tomorrow and always. Smile, Gordy. I am texting you in the greatest possible way imaginable. I thought of the jokes and riddles we used to listen to today and remembered the one: What is the one thing that you no longer see any more but once was used to tell time and worn by almost everyone? I still don't wear I wrist watch. Maybe tomorrow I will by a Figi water and find some place for me to find my way to you for at least a little while. The weather is changing and with the change I find smells and sounds that leer me to memories of you and I. Aloha my friend for now.

I thought of you fondly this wknd. Memories of our long chats over Walter came flooding through as we celebrated his birthday on Sat.. By now it would be Reniassance time and we would be out in AJ almost Florence. Ours will be here in AK and I promise to celebrate in a GRAND SPECTACULAR way as always. So much you were apart of changing in my life it is hard to not spend a moment or an hour without you invading my thoughts with much needed distraction. I thought that by now this feeling would have somehow diminished and with the distance between AZ and AK it would not matter any where I was, but it does and I know it always will. I miss you being the one who would crash at my place and make late night runs to "Jack". There are so many favorite places we shared, but I hold our last trip to the state fair most dear. You were everything then that a best friend ever could be and I am trying hard to hold onto that now. I know that no matter the distance when I talk to you it is you who fills my mind with all these crazy memories and laughter that only you were ever able to create. I miss you more than life could ever be lived by anyone here on earth and will continue too. I hope that my wings are finding you in a better place than I am these days and that one day soon I will be able to talk of you in fondness without all the pain and guilt for not being there. To be honest I think not being at your funeral was a blessing in disguise because I will always have memories that are tangible and dear to my heart this way. I could never say " Good-bye". Not even when we were together it was always "Later", "Aloha", or "Soon". They all still apply so "Later,Aloha, Soon. I love you.

To my best friend though the distance is greater than any plane ride, the inability to touch you ever so real, and the emptiness of your warm embrace I may no longer feel it is who you are now that keeps my love and our friendship strong. One day soon we will be together until then you are my angel ( I gladly relinquish my wings to you)...."Msy De".

You are in my dreams, always with me, and what I look forward to the most in the life to come. Your strength is with me, your love holds me together, helping me, watching over me, waiting for me to be done here. I so wish you were here, if only for one more day, one more hug, but at least I hugged you in my dreams.
You are the best best friend I ever had. Love is forever!
