Angelizd's Place - In Loving Memory Of Gordon

These messages will be placed in the order that I received them with the first message being first and others following in order. The only one that will not be in order will be my own, I will put the messages of others before my own.
Remembering a Special Friend

He spoke sweetly,
and cared for you.
He listened artfully,
and warmed your heart.
He waited gracefully
for you to speak.
And answered eloquently,
without judgment.
His world was yours
and yours was his.
The Lord taketh away,
this Angel on earth.
My heart has been touched by him forever.
He was a Special Friend

Gorden, You have touched so many lives on the Water Cooler. I still remember the day that we talked about the New England Patriots. I shared some pictures with you the day after I went to the football game. We shared emails for a few weeks straight just talking about the Patriots. I know that you'll be watching the game from up above but it will never be the same watching the game knowing that someone who enjoys the game as much as I do will no longer be talking to me in emails about it. R.I.P my little Patriot fan. I will never forget you!! My deepest sympathy goes out to Gordon's loved ones. Just know he will be with you in sprit.

I'd just like to say that I'm going to miss his presence and games online. Gordon was one-of-a-kind, with the emphasis on "kind".

Most older folks don't bother to learn how to use a computer. All of Gordon's online friends are VERY glad he did!

He was a wonderful friend to all who knew him online.

Cyberspace just got a little lonlier.

RIP, Gordon, my friend.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Gordon's family.

He will be missed.

A Rose Once Grew

A rose once grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall.
And, as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall.

One day, a beam of light shone through,
a crevice that had opened wide.
The rose bent gently toward its warmth,
then passed to the other side.

Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted the rose blooms there.
Its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by Gods own loving care.

It is of much regret to learn of Gordon's untimely death ...

Never Forgotten

The pain of death is an earthly thing
our loved one does not feel,
for he has gone to Heaven
and we have pain to heal.

To heal the greatest sadness
the loss of our dear one;
to heal the guilt and sorrow,
was there something left undone?

He’s in his home in Heaven now,
He’s waiting for you there.
You’ll be together someday
with Eternity to share.

We do not always understand
The working of God’s ways;
How little time we have on earth,
the years, the months, the days.

We are left to carry on
The way seems dark and bare.
This feeling only comes from grief,
For He is with us there.

His love will follow with us
Through every part of life.
So do your best while here on earth
to ease the pain and strife.

He will never be forgotten
Try to put your grief aside.
The joy and beauty of this earth
He shares with you, side by side.

Your friend in Texas

I was very sorry to hear of Gordon's passing. I knew him as an faithful contributor to the Watercooler through the years. His presence is missed. Condolences to the family.

Gordon was a splendid man, of great intellect and a big heart. This loved and loving father was also my friend. It was my privilege to have known him and to have received counsel from time to time from depths of knowledge that only come from years of experience, his desire to help his fellow man, and the love of life itself. His genial personality and the generous instincts of this fine man will be missed not only by me, but I believe by everyone on the Watercooler Message Board. Gordon was truly "a keeper."

My sincere condolences and prayers to the family.

What You Mean To Me
by Baby Bad

I never came here looking for a single soul.
But now that I found you I want you to know

I had forgotten how to smile, how to laugh, how to be me
I had forgotten the sweet pleasure of a heart filled with glee.

I was intoxicated with life... work and family
Never stopping for fun... it just wasn't there you see.

Since I have found you... it's been a complete turn around
I smile and laugh again... not much gets me down.

I get excited when I see you on ICQ
Wondering what it is today we will do...

Chatting, laughing and the games we play
You make my every day.

It seems so silly on just a machine
How someone can reach you... become your everything

Dearest G.
January 23rd will be a bittersweet day for me. I will remember you with great fondness and love, and celebrate my own Dad's birthday. We had fun sharing the day together :D

G, you were my friend through all kinds of times in my life, good, bad, scary and happy. You always put a smile on my face...I loved how you would "help" make my acronym sound better. Never a bad word came from you, only support and deep care for the human race. Now, the love for your wife and Teddy were special. How you love your family! What a lucky family you have. God Bless you all, and know that G was loved dearly by many he touched. How he was missed when his vision started to go bad....I love you G, and miss you terribly.

Gordon will be missed by his Watercooler friends. My condolences to his family...

Gordon you were loved by many on the Water Cooler board and will be surely missed by all. Thank you for being a big part of our lives and doing the word game for so many years. I didn't do it very often as I found it hard to come up with the words but many enjoyed playing the game and you were always so nice to us all. RIP Gordon and my condolences go out to his many friends and family who will surely miss him but will always remember him in their hearts and remember his gentle and caring and loving ways and his loving care of his wife and family too.
