Gordon’s Family, Both Lib and Frank worked with us at Wachovia for many years and Jay Bird and Jane were in school with us too. Regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance we are never ready to lose our loved ones. The only fomfort has to come from our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. We are thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers hoping in some small way it does help to know others do care. Joe Clark
My deepest regrets go to you and family. My father-in-law Lee Whitaker, worked with your father at 7-up for years. Your father was a true friend and will be missed.

I know that you will miss both of them very much but know that they are in a much better place and wil be missed. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
