Nellie and Sandy

I am so sorry for your loss.
Cherish the good memories and laughter of the past.
As you may know, I grieve also. By some strange coincidence my Dad passed away on the same day.
Again, I&m sorry for this tough and difficult time in our life. But as always happens, we see our dads in us, our children and grandchildren. A part of them will live on and be with us forever through these children. This is a blessing.

My condolences to you,

Nephew and Cousin...... Frank

My sympathies to your family. I didn&t know Gordon well but one thing I know for sure was he did love Black Walnut Ice Cream! He was kind to me and always had a kind word to say when I saw him.
