Today we remember Gordon Lay, who would have been 59 years old today.

He was an amazing dad, son, brother, and friend, and he is deeply missed. Anyone who had the privilege of knowing him was touched by his spirit, his kindness, and his sense of humor that could light up any room.

Gordy loved God fiercely, and that faith was at the center of who he was. We hold onto the hope and promise that we will see him again one day.

Thinking of him today and always. ❤️

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage, service, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten.

As we spend time with family and friends this weekend, let us also take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and remember those who gave everything in service to our nation.

Thank you to all who have served and to the families who continue to carry their legacy. 🇺🇸
