Condolences
The family of Gail L. Gordon has received the following condolences.
Gail was born on a starry
cold winter night. I was
skiing with some friends
when I learned I had a new niece.
I baby sat her when she
was a few months old
She cried and I rocked
her in my arms
At eleven months she
took her first steps
I watched as "Skoogins"
walked into her dad's
waiting armrs
At her sister Barbara's wedding
she sang the Wedding Song.
She had a beautiful alto voice
just like her mother's.
I was there to applaud
her when she earned her nursing degree
Persistent she received top grades
She was a loving person
and it showed when
we visited her at her
Zombrota home. Her rescued
dog met us at the door.
May God open his arms
wide and greet my niece home.
Love,
Uncle Louie and Aunt Carole
