Gary you are so very missed by so many friends and family. You were more than a brother to your brother Steve. There are no words to explain the emptiness in his heart for you. You were not just a brother and friend to him. You were his hero.No one loved you more than he has and does. Only God can fill the emptiness in his heart. I pray you Rest In Peace.

I am so sorry for this loss! I am so sorry I cannot be there with my family as they grieve. Always remember the words of the Lord- “the moment that you seek me with your whole heart I will be found of youâ€. It only takes a moment. A moment of time, a moment of prayer. God has got the rest. He’s got you. Once again, we will be alright. With prayers and loving thoughts to all of you, Love Mom Lydia Carroll
