    To Philip and Gordon’s family, we are so sorry to hear about the passing of Gordon. All the years we had our home in Brookhaven, Gordon was always there to help us when we called. He was a good man . We always enjoyed him and his ministry. God has a purpose for each one of us and he used Gordon for his glory. Again we are so sorry for your loss.
