Condolences (2)

1. Gord, thank you so much for sharing your gift with so many. I remember when you asked me to come play an acoustic gig with you and Paul at Gorgeous Cafe. I was over the moon excited and yet so nervous too. Me, playing music with Gord Phillips?! But you helped ease my nerves and the gig was an amazing success. I will never forget that.

   I first met you at Kemp Lake Store jam every Sunday. i was new to playing in front of people but it was always a thrill to sit in and jam with you. Those were such wonderful times. The saying, ‘you never know what you have until it is gone’…is so true.

   I remember you telling about how you loved Sooke and when you moved there, you never wanted to leave. I would think of your wonderful Sooke stories you told whien you would play Sooke Highway. It has to be one of my favourite songs of yours.

   Somewhere, out there, you are playing that amazing gig once again, sharing your songs and your gift. But you will so be missed by all that knew you still here in this realm.

   May you rest in peace dear friend. Until we meet and jam again.

2. Gayle, we are so sorry to read that Gordon has passed away. We send our deepest condolences to you at this difficult time.
