We are truly sorry for your loss. I know there are no healing words or magic potion to help ease in a time like this. We want you to know that the two of you demonstrated the true meaning of Love.

It was a gift for us to have the two of you as our marriage preperation leaders and we regret not being able to share this with Gordon in person. If there is anything we can do please let us know.
