    Dear Doreen my deepest condolences to you and your family at this very difficult time. Wonderful memories I have of the trip that I made with you folks and Ron and Marilyn. I sure enjoyed getting to know Gordon. He was a Godly gentleman. I remember the fun we had on that trip and he was not well at that time. You are in my prayers daily. I know it will be very lonely for you. I think of what it must have been when he saw his Saviour's face for the first time! He will now get his rewards. Well done though good and faithful servant. Much love, Mima

    Thinking of all of you. When I moved to Calgary in 1976 I was extremely fortunate to be assigned to Gordâ??s team at work. He not only took me under his wing there, but brought me home to your family who always made me feel welcome. He, and your whole family, helped me adjust to life in a new province, and away from everyone I knew. Thank you very much. I know that you will miss him, but will find comfort knowing he is in a better place
