Said Goodbye to a friend
Said Goodbye to a friend today. I know that every day since the tragedy on April 9th has been different and it will never be the same again. It has all been filled with so much emotion. After seeing his family and friends come together today and seeing the love and respect I truly believe that Bobby Gordon may have been the richest man alive. A lovely wife, loving mother and three incredible boys. Your life was too short but you accomplished a great deal.
