"Our Deepest Sympathy with the loss of a fellow shepherd. The Lord must have needed a Shepherd to take care of his flock. We will miss Gordie during hunting season with his big game supper and his fancy cake he use to make. We will miss his stories he would tell while we was getting the supper ready. We have known Gordie for years and we feel deep sorrow losing him. Vince and Ellen Kay Marshall"
