I was born on 17 May 1986, in Baltimore, Maryland, to the proud parents of

Nathan (Jimmy) and Kim Gordon.

I had a good life being reared by my Loving and hardworking Mother

Kim, my Granny (Mary Blue) and my Big Brother Nathan. Although I was older

than my little sister N akeisha, she kinda thought that she had a hand in raising

me too ... I loved them so much, and Love them still.

My Granny always told me to serve The Lord and finish school (as ALL of

her Grands did), and I did just what she said to do. I graduated and Granny

was an Angel in attendance at my High School Graduation, I felt her presence

there. I worked as a bricklayer and was great and growing greater at my craft. I

enjoyed the building concept of watching the project begin and finish, and

knowing that my work was a part of that.

I accepted the Lord as my Personal Savior., and was baptized at Mount

Pleasant Church and Ministry under the Leadership of Bishop Clifford M.

Johnson, [r .. I love reading God's Word (The Bible), and sharing His Word with

anyone. His Words Are All Truth, The Best Book Ever!!! He Loved, Forgave and

promised me a new life in heaven with Him.

Hold on someone's coming that I've never met. It is the one called Man

Daddy (My maternal grandfather Dan Blue) he is smiling and says, "Welcome

Home Grandson." ... Wait a minute, here comes Granny, I know that smile.

Wow, she hit me on my arm" and hard too, now she is hugging me so tight with

her Granny grip. I don't want her to ever let me go.

OMG, that's my Big Brother hollering and running full speed towards me,

and he -grabs me while Granny is still holding me too. I don't want them to let

go. Aunt Cynt (Cynthia ), is standing there smiling and crying. I told her not to

cry because I am good now. She said she was crying because she knew that too.

I told them give me a minute because I needed to finish this letter to and

for the family.

Mom, Oh My God! You were right about everything. You loved me

unconditionally and sincerely. You made me laugh, made me cry at times, made

me think and helped to make me a man. Think about the times we laughed,

fussed and then laughed together. You are the Best Mom in the World and Best

Friend to Me. Trust in God as you told me to do. Pray, as you and Granny

taught me, and continue to Love. You have so much more Love to give ... and

receive.

Amiya, you are my firstborn. I was so happy when you were born. I

always wanted all the best for you. I tried my best, and I gave all of my wants

for you over to God. I trusted that He would be all that you ever needed and

more that I could ever provide. Trust God and He will direct your paths. Think

of me of the times when I made you laugh, fuss or roll your eyes. Whenever you

look at your reflections, you will see me. Please know that I am good, and I will

Always and forever Love You!

Gia, you are my newest blessing. How I wish I could be there as you grow

and understand the wonders of this Universe. I will be there always in Spirit.

Trust God every day and always. He will direct your Paths. Whenever you look

at your reflections, you will see me .. Please know that I am good, and I will

Always and forever Love You!

Nakeisha, my baby Sister. I Love You So Much! That Love will never die.

We have been through storms of life together, and together we made it through.

Trust God that He will give you the strength to get through this storm. You have

the most beautiful daughter, my niece Kenleeh. Make sure when she calls my

name she is correctly pronouncing it with her "Baltimore" accent not her

"French" accent (Antoine vs AN /\TWan).

Lil Nathan, I Love You Man. I wanted to be there for you more ... so many

times. It was a struggle for me because I missed your Dad so much too. But I

asked God to watch over you and provide all that you needed. I called the other

day to take you swimming, and your Mom said that I would have to go to

Australia to get you. I thought about it, and said, "God is good". God will

continue to provide all of your needs. Always remember you are loved, and you

have an army of angels watching over you.

Aunt Cheryl, I Love you to the moon and back. I called you day and night

and you would listen and help me. You called to check on me and told me to

trust in God and He would be there for me always, forgiving and loving me,

unconditionally. You know that I Love the Lord and accepted His pardon of my

sins, and was baptized in His Name. You know that I am alright! I Love You

Aunt Cheryl, and you were right! God has prepared a place for me.

Family, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews and "You know who you

are", just wanted to say, "I'm good ... I'm real good". I Love the Lord, I know the

Lord, and I accepted the Lord as my Personal Savior.

I Loved You All, even if I didn't say it every time I saw you, God knew my

heart. I prayed for my family, and I trust that God will continue to pour you out

blessings just like God did for me. "Just pray about it," my favorite words.

I'm good, I'm blessed ... I'm home.

"OK Granny!" Well, Granny wants to show me her place before I see mine,

and she has prepared a feast for me (..And I'm hungry too). The Angels just

brought my beautiful Crown and Robe (designed by God), and it fits perfectly.

I am so grateful that I know The Lord. Please take the time to get to know

God for yourself. He forgives, He Loves and He Saves.

ANTOINE L. GORDON

When the body of my earthly dwelling lies in death, I gained an

everlasting dwelling place in heaven. Death is not my ending but my new

beginning of a new life, which God has prepared for me. Let it hereby be known
