Gordith is my dearest friend. Gordith, Bev Martin and myself spent many days around Gordith’s kitchen table studying astrology together and attending many relative seminars and outings.
Gordith’s friendly and innocent nature made her a joy to be with; always laughing, a good listener, an encouraging person and always there for me or anyone who needed help or positive support.
Life changes and we grew apart physically, yet never lost contact. We always checked-in with each other at least once a year and our conversation carried on from the last one, not skipping a beat. She never mentioned the disease that took her and I was so looking forward to hearing from her on my birthday. My birthday was not the same without her encouraging words and laughter. She will always be in my heart and in my mind and forever be my dearest friend.
