Sending my sincere condol3nces to Mrs. Linda, Chris and the Toone family. I’m so sorry for your loss, Mr. Gordon was the sweetest man and I loved him dearly. I first met him when he used to work for Pecht and vendor in South Hill Walmart. After he became ill and stopped working, he always made sure to wave and give out hugs when he continuously came in the store. Just a beautiful soul that’s finally taking his forever rest. Prayers of strength, guidance, and comfort to you all. S.I.P. Mr. Gordon❤️🙏🏾

CELEBRATING HIS LIFE
TO THE TOONE FAMILY (GEORGE & JUDY KIDD): SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. WISHING YOU ALL THE PEACE AND CONFORT POSSIBLE IN THIS TIME OF MOURNING. I NEVER MET ERNEST, BUT AFTER READING HIS OBITUARY, I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE ENJOYED HIS COMPANY AND CONVERSATION VERY MUCH. WHEN YOU LOSE A FAMILY MEMBER OR CLOSE FRIEND, IT IS NATURAL TO MOURN FOR THEM. BUT, TO CELEBRATE A LIFE, KNOWING THEY’VE HAD JESUS CHRISTIN THEIR CORNER, AND THROUGH HIM, REACHED THEIR FINAL REWARD, THAT MAKES THE HEALING PROCESS MORE OF A BLESSING RATHER THAN A BURDEN.(I CAME UPON THIS WAY OF THINKING A LONG TIME AGO). AGAIN, I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, BUT I AM CELEBRATING HIS VICTORY.
