Add A Condolence

To the Gordon family, many people mistakenly think that if we have faith in God, we shouldn't grieve at the loss of a significane other, but the truth is that its perfectly normal, natural and necessary to grieve. Grieving doesn't mean our faith is weak or we don't trust God enough. It means we are human. No one can define when, where nor how long to grieve. My family prayers are far the Gordon family. Jesus grieved. Remember "Jesus wept". John 11:17-36 Willie C. Bryant, Sr. And family

To Arveeda & Jamie, Our prayers are with you. Tommy/ uncle Tommy will never be forgotten. Love, Carla,Margaret, and Family

Dear cousin, Arveeda, We are so sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. Your marriage produced two beautiful sons. They are a testament what wonderful parents you and Tommy were. Our prayers for all...Penny and Erin

I am truly going to miss my uncle Tommy. He was always a positive force in my life growing up. He made me smile and laugh as I was growing up giving life tips that I remember even now. He told me about his service which he was proud of throughout his life, and I am grateful that I was able to tell him that I loved him in recent days. This is a hard time to lose the people you love.

Mr. Gordon was a huge part of my childhood and I will always remember his laughter and enthusiasm. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and will keep Ms. Arveeda and Jamie lifted in prayer. Rest In Peace and Power Mr. Gordon you were a valued/loving part of my family and will most definitely be missed! 2 Corinthians 5

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
