Mr. Gordon, you have posted several times on my ex-husbands page (Lee Russ, Ward County SO, Texas) and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your kind words. Just as your son Mike came from a law enforcement family, Lee's Dad and brother were officers. Please know that Mike's family, friends and coworkers are remembered in prayer.

Mike, Wishing you a Happy Father's Day and wishing you could be here to see how your kids have grown.

Malik is going to Dubuque College in Iowa in August and as I told you Cullen is in the wilds of Canada for the next 4-5 weeks.

Please watch over everyone and especially your Dad today,
Father's Day, as I know he will be thinking of you.

Love and miss you.

Mike, Watch over your son Cullen who is leaving tomorrow for his Adventure Camping Trip to Canada. He will be gone for 40 days and of course I and the rest of the family will be on pins and needles the whole time. He loves this kind of stuff and I would love to be happy for him if I didn't get so nuts about these things. I was that way with you and your brothers and now with the grandchildren.

This is his fourth year with this camp in Wisconsin and he has advanced each year. Now he's telling me that next year he wants to be a camp counselor. He also asked what I thought about him joining the Army and I said he needed to finish college before thinking about the Army. I wish you were here to guide him because the family can only say and do so much.

Love and miss you everyday.

Blackhawks took the Stanley Cup last night. Thanks for putting in the good word. I know what a Hawks fan you were and you were not here to see them win any of the 3 cups they have taken in the last 6 years. I know you would have been down near Wrigley Field with the thousands of fans that celebrated in the streets. They took it at home, first time since 1937. Miss you every day, you are always in my thoughts, especially when I see a Jeep Wrangler drive past me. Love and miss you forever. Keep watch over everyone for me.

Love
Dad

This past weekend was the annual Cubs Rooftop fund raiser for your foundation. Turned out to be one of thebest we ever had. Was a cold and wet night and Cubs were rained out. We still had the rooftop and it turned into a Blackhawks final playoff game. Hawks won and your could hear everyone cheering in all the bars in Wrigleyville. You never got to see the Hawks win a Stanley Cup but you were one of the biggest fans. They are now playing for the cup so help them along with some lucky bounces. We love and miss you every day. Keep watch over the family for me.

Love,
Dad

Dear Mike...It is National Police Week '15...and the 27th Annual Candlelight Vigil is this evening...so because I can't be there...I lit a virtual candle in your memory...on the United by Light NLEOMF site. You are not forgotten! God bless you and rest peacefully.

With my prayers...for you and your family.

To Officer Gordon's Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I found out about your husband, father and son today when reading about the fallen officer in WI. Sad to lose someone so young. Please know that there are others whom you have never met that shed tears with you.

I lost my best friend when he was only 31 years old. He was like my younger brother. I will never forget that day and the circumstances that lead to his death. There was nothing that could be done to save him. I was helpless and he died....

I look forward to seeing him again in the resurrection. Be assured that many, like me, feel for you.

Dear Mike, Today is Cullen's 16th birthday - you would be proud of the young man he's become. Looking at him I see you at that same age.

He will be making his communion and confirmation tomorrow - we are all proud of him.

Watch over both your sons' and daughter along with the rest of the family. Love and miss you everyday.

Happy St. Patricks's Day. Today is one of your favorite days, you always loved being Irish. Oh, and Scottish and Italian. I think the Irish was your favorite. You would go with your brothers and Mom and I would worry about the three of you out on the town. You would always look out for one another and that's what was so hard when we lost you, none of us could do anything. I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat if I could so that you could be with your brothers and children. Take care and watch over everyone for me. Miss you and think about you always.

Love,
Dad

Mike, Today is your birthday which used to be a joyous occasion for your Dad and I and is now sad because you are gone.

Went to the cemetery today in below zero weather to put something on your grave. I should have waited till tomorrow as I have been sick all week. We needed a shovel, broom and ice chipper before we found it.

Love & miss you.

It has been awhile since I have been on and left a reflection, however, I think of you and all the heroes who have given their all for us each and everyday. Time has just flown by, but our hearts are still heavy with the loss of our babies. Continue to rest in peace. I also want you to know that your dad holds a special place in my life, he is always there when needed, just when you need something there it is an email with a song or just beautiful words. I am sure you were just like him. You will never be forgotten.
