    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, thw power to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it to be. Trusting that You will make things right if I surrender to your will, so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You in the next. Kip, I will see you ..."in the sweet bye and bye..." Pete

    My family is so sorry for the loss of our Uncle (Kip) as we have always called Gordon. His laughter and unique way of talking will be missed especially by my son, Kip, who is named after him. The time he spent with his Uncle Kip at a reunion several years ago, and found that many of the events such as broken bones happened to each of them at the same age will always be special. Sorry we can't be there with all of you.
