Our love comes to you and all the family. We pray for strength for you all thru this difficult time. Gary is in the most wonderful hands now & so happy to be with your sweet Elaine. We will all be together again soon. He was such a sweetheart while he was here with us & I know he is greatly received in heaven. Love you all. If you need us, we are only a phone call away.
Lynn and family: Words cannot express my sorrow for your loss. Having lost my mom recently, I know that nothing can be said that will take the pain away. However, please remember that you have a loving family to lean on, and I hope you always remember me as an extended family member always at your disposal.
Lynn and family, We will continue to keep you and yours in our prayers. I think we will all miss that great smile and kind heart of Gary's but maybe that will also keep his memory strong for the lives he touched. May Christ be with you always.
