Dear Ian, Lee, and family, Reading about Gord on Facebook, here, and hearing stories of him throughout the years, helps me know that, although I never had the priviledge of meeting him, I have already met his spirit by getting to know you, Ian. I know how much you admired, respected, and loved your dad. We are saddened that you need to bare this loss, and at the same time happy that your dad filled your lives with so much gain. It sounds like he embraced life, loved his family well, and taught others how to do the same. What a rich blessing. We continue to think of, and pray for, you and your extended family. With much love, Shawna
Dear Lindsey, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as you go through this difficult time. So sorry for your loss.
Dear Ian, I wanted to pass along my sincere condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father. Take solace in knowing that he is no longer in pain and is in a better place. I pray that you and your family get through the coming days and that over time the sense of loss is minimized, to be replaced with fond and loving memories. God Bless

Hey Gordy, I'll have drinks for you asap...
In the garish day and in the darkest night -- I will be near you. Amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours -- always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath; or the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Deepest Condolences to Cathy and Family - Tony Mac.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Lindsey, and your family as you make your way through this very difficult journey. I hold you close with thoughts of comfort and peace and pray that you are supported during this time. Your father's spirit is with you and will remain so, but I know it's not the same as having him physically with you. Hold close your memories, and know that he loved you and loves you still. Peace.
Lindsey, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. You are in my thoughts.
