Dear Betty and family;
Elaine joins me in expressing our sympathy to you on Gordon's passing. He was a fighter and no doubt fought to the end. The last time I saw Gordon he was on his scooter at the Mall and we talked about driving carefully.
With our prayerful thoughts for all of you, Richard and Elaine.

Dear Betty, Dorothy, Grant, Donna and Scott,
I know how difficult this must be for you all and we wish you our sincere condolences. I've known Gordon my whole life and I will always remember his big smile and unique laugh; his love for nice jewelry, bowling, his family and of course his dogs. His strength and determination right to the end is an inspiration to us all and a reminder to enjoy every minute that we are given.
I hope that you all can find comfort that he is at peace now. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With love from,
Audrey and Mel
