Dear Trudy and family,I just heard about John today. I know the loss you feel but I know how loving and supportive you family is and it will be there for you. John was such a great guy and your visits always brightened the day for my parents. I loved hearing your reminiscences of your KC days. It always sounded as if you had so much fun. Keep those memories and laughter with you. As Mom would say "God love you!".With thoughts and prayers'Anne Tinley Park, IL US
What luck for my brother, Marty, to have John for a father-in-law. He was treated like a son and since his career path brought him to Decatur from South Carolina, he was always homesick until he met the Gordon family and found a new home.John was an inspiration and stabalizing force in his life. lee lyons highlands, NC US

Dear Trudy, Anne and Cheryl,I was so saddened when I opened the paper today and wanted to send my heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. Trudy, mother was always so pleased when you and Bud would come to see her. Bud and she were the "twins" of the family. I always appreciated everything you did for mom and only wish that I could have helpd both of you in some way. The last time I saw Bud we shared a coffee at WalMart and we talked and talked while Trudy was shopping. Sarah always said he and Grandma Mary look alike – I guess it was that Irish face! Please know that my thoughts are with all of you. Bud is now resting in a wonderful world full of family and friends. We will always keep our wonderful memories alive in our heart. Trudy, Anne and Cheryl, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Our love always, Decatur, IL US
