Our wonderful neighbor Gordon passed away on Friday after a 5 week battle with leukemia. James and Brad had the wonderful opportunity to spend several hours with him at the hospital so his dear wife Dixie could get a little rest. We are so sad, and the cul-de-sac will never be the same.
We have been blessed by his special ability to serve others. Gordon could fix anything! Our boys were taught to fix their cars, to love fireworks, and drive fast. He also taught them how to be a wonderful father, husband, friend and teacher. At the viewing, Noah was having a hard time... I told him "you just need to do what he has taught you to do... well maybe NOT everything" ;)
Dixie is an angel on earth. She has served us all with her sensitive spirit and musical talents. We pray for peace for her and the family.

Gordon and Dixie's sons have been special friends to our boys. We are so proud of their two missionaries out serving and pray for them. We are so grateful to KNOW that Families are Forever!
It's hard to be so far away when things like this happen. It hasn't hit me at all that Gordon's gone. He'll be missed
