Rhonda, I was in total shock to see this just now on Facebook. My heart is broken for you. I am so thankful you’ll had the 49 wonderful years together. If you knew Gary (Gerald) you loved him! May God wrap his arms of love around you and fill you with comfort and strength during the days ahead. I love you.
