In Loving Memory . . .

 In loving memory of
Gary Kay Gordon
cherished
husband and father of 
Lynne, Scott, Susan

February 13,1939 - October 14,.1980


Gary and Lynne
married

wedding trip

 ~
we each have chapters
one of my chapters is of my life
with my husband Gary
and the life we shared together
and with our two children,
Scott and Suzie

Gary and I met in college
here we are with some of our college friends
excuse the blur
 look at those smiles
we had great times together



college, marriage and a few years after
our children







 Ginger our Irish Setter





so many memories
the list goes on and on

apartments, first home,
renovating a huge three story home
skiing
skiing often

transfers, moves,
 new homes, new schools
careers, friends



spring break always meant a ski trip out west



boating, jogging, camping, travels



family trip to
New York City
1975



Sailing



laughter giggles silly



life wasn't always perfect
but it was usually pretty darn wonderful
 
 firsts
beginnings
a sudden ending

we remember
laughter and the tears
and we give this time
to honor
with our love



bittersweet
it hasn't fully opened yet
soon there will be the burst of orange color
~
thank you
each of you
for being my friend
and
being a treasured part
of this chapter of my life

Lynne, such a loving tribute and wonderful memories. It's wonderful you've found happiness twice; makes life special. Kay is my middle name and I've read it's Celtic for Happy.
