I am very sorry for your loss . Losing a loved one in death is such a difficult thing to experience . Please be comforted by the promises in the Bible . Jesus tells us at John 5 : 28 , 29 that all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out . What a loving provision put in place by the God of all comfort so we can have the assured hope of seeing our dead loved ones live again one day . Meanwhile as I pray for that day to come I ask Jehovah God to bless your family and give each of you the strength to endure this most trying time .

Sandra and family,
So sorry to hear of Gordon Earl's death. I remember so much when we all were still in school (such a long time ago). He was such a nice person and I know you are thankful to have had him so many years. Remember where he is and know he will always be with you in spirit. Until we see you again.......Donna

Paul and I were sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Gordon. You know he always would pucker up when I was around and wanted a kiss. I would always ask him what he had in that lip. He would always say nothing and just for good measure he would show me. He would always get that kiss. We will miss him but he is suffering no more. Ricky and Sherri if you need anything you know where we are. Mrs. Sandra you can rest now because he is resting. God Bless

Sandra and Family, I'm so sorry to hear of Gordan' passing.. May our God of Comfort, comfort your hearts and give you peace. Losing a loved one hurts, but rejoicing in the fact that he is no longer sick or in pain, does shorten the grieving period. May he rest in the presence of Jesus!
