▪ Dear Church Family,
Thank you. We so appreciate the love,
prayers, thoughts, calls, cards, meals, post-celebration dinner and every other
thing that you provided to our family during this very difficult time.
Gordon’s passing was sudden and unexpected, but the love and attention showered
upon us was not a surprise. Thank you so much for the white lantern with silk
flowers. What better way to honor a man who loved flowers as much as
Gordon did. Gordon’s singing and roses may be missed, but the memories that our
family share, will long be cherished. He enjoyed all of your friendships
here at Washington Mennonite Church.
In Christ’s love,
The Gordon Watson Family
