In addition, we'd like to add the following information:

He was preceded in death by a daughter: Lynne Renee Gorham.
She was born on 10-24-55 and lived for two hours.  She's buried
by our father at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.  She won't be forgotten.

His parents, Clarence Edward Gorham, Sr. and Carrie Jenny McDavid
Gorham are also buried by him.  We find it very comforting to
know that in life, he was surrounded by people who loved him and
in death, he was buried beside people that he loved.
Rest in peace, Daddy.
