This site is being created in memory and celebration of Gilbert Forrest Gunder - our father, grandfather, and friend - who loved, supported, guided, inspired, and shaped each of us and all of our lives, individually and collectively, with his singularly unique Gil Gunder strength, humor, and gentleness. You are a wonderment, Pop, and we love and thank you.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Ich liebe dich, Papa-San, and miss you everyday.
Rest in peace in the knowledge that you are a wonderful man, father, and grandfather.
Thank you for being you!
Give Mom a hug and kiss for me: )
“Teacher”
Thank you Pop for being my friend and loving Dad
I miss you more than you could ever know
I Love You
"Cheerful in all weather
Never shirked a task
Splendid behavior"
Welcome in all company
St. Peter will waive you on through
Nancy Ann will be pleased; the circle will not be broken
To one of the kindest and loving man I was so lucky to know.
There will not be a day that you will not be missed.
Rest in peace Pops.
