Tom and Diana knew my son, Trevor Lorne James since he was a boy. After Trevor's tragic passing, I found ABATE. From there I was led, to Tom Gordon, who worked so tirelessly for legislation to prevent the very accident that took Trevor's life. Tom and I talked often. He never stopped. I would marvel at his stamina by traveling and working either at his job, or by donating his time for causes he believed worthy.
The languages of the world would all likely define "love" the same way, and I am sure Tom was well respected and well "loved". My husband and I are deeply moved by the selfless act of his wife Diana to wish to see the tlj foundation survive.
There are simply no words to express..........simply none.
Our hearts go out to the family at this most difficult of times.
He truly is and will remain a "freedom fighter".

I wondered the same thing. Both of his daughters, Amy and Valeree, are wonderful women with wonderful husbands and 5 beautiful, gifted children between them. What a shame to have disowned nine beautifull people running from the past.

A Song For You posted a condolence
From Underneath by Hawk Nelson.
From Underneath I wanted you
To see the first thing I ever poured my heart into
You'll never know the pain that I've been through
I'm not so sure you'll ever know
And so I'll make you understand the words that built my life
Were not from you, but from my father's hand
Do you remember that cold day in December
Leaving everything you knew behind
I may never know how it feels to stand beside you
Or take your hand when I need some direction
And I may never know what it's like to see you smile back at me
Or know you'd be proud of me
From underneath I promise to erase the past
And let my heart forgive the former you
Replace the dark of old and start brand new
I never thought I'd see the day
I walk toward the end of life and turn the other way
I'm reaching out to take my Father's hand

What a sad day and a sad day that his two wonderful daughters have not been named.
If death teaches us anything it's that life is too short to carry grudges and bare ill will.

Why aren't his two daughters mentioned? That makes me even more sad.
He seemed like a great guy and father to his new family, but really what about his other children, you know the ones he forgot about. Shame on his new family for allowing this to continue after his death.
Condolences to all, but especially to Val and Amy for being shut out by his wife.
I can't imagine what they are going through, not able to say goodbye.
I am sure on the other side all is forgotten and there is nothing but love for all.
There is no room for anger in the afterlife.
Shame on those living that are continuing the anger though.

Valeree and Amy, so sorry for your loss. No matter what happened in the past, we know that this has affected you in some way. God bless you.

Sad when blood family members have to resort to the Internet and Google to find that their own father passed away. No one even had the common courtesy to contact them. They aren't even mentioned here. Amy and Valeree, my sincerest condolences.

I did not know Mr. Gordan, but I do know his daughter, Valeree. She is a very good wife and a wonderful mother to two beautiful children. I am sorry Mr. Gordon's family did not want her as a part of their family, but we sure are proud to have her as a part of ours. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family as she trys to sort through her feelings on what has happened in the past as well as now. God bless her and Amy and their families.

What a truly sad contradiction. Why can we not in death reach out with grace and compassion to ALL who mourn him. His daughters deserve as much, if not more. Words are lovely, but the acts of exclusion speak volumes. God be with his daughters and their families, bring them the peace and grace they deserve.

For Val & Amy posted a condolence
My condolences to his REAL daughters, who were somehow left out?
Valeree & Amy....I hope you can find some peace even though you were excluded.
My heart goes out to both of you.
I also have to find a bit of remorse for Diana.....for the fact that she thought it necessary to leave his daughters & their wonderful families out.
Somehow, I don't think that's what Tom would've wanted. Who gave you that right.

I feel sure that the four children listed here have some memories that could be shared with Val and Amy. I also feel sure that Val and Amy have some memories of their father that could be shared with the four children listed here. What a shame that they have been denied this opportunity. My condolences to all Tom's children.

Where did all the comments about Tom's two girls go? I suppose someone did not want the world knowing they exist or that they were not mentioned or that they were denied the opportunity to attend their father's funeral.

Just checked back & all the candles about Valeree & Amy are GONE. POOF!!
I said a prayer for Diana, hoping that she would realize what she DID to Tom's REAL DAUGHTERS........but.........
Instead she deleted them all.
Sooooooo VERY SAD.
Val & Amy.....I know your Dad loved you. I know it. Bless you both & find a way to have peace with this.....PLEASE.

Diana showing her true colors once again- first by not even acknowledging Tom's two daughters by his first wife, and then again by trying to delete any reference to them in the candles. How very Christian of her- I am sure the Lord is so proud of such petty, hateful behavior.
