Thoughts and Prayer are with you. So sorry for your lose.
My heartfelt sympathy goes to Chris, Danielle, Jamie and all your family on the loss of your father. Yesterday we lost a good man who loved his children deeply and was so proud of you. May God give you comfort & heal your pain. When he lost your Gram last year, he spoke often about how he wouldn't have gotten through it without the help of his children. I knew Gary as my neighbor/trusted friend (28 yrs.) and I will miss him greatly. He left too young but God has a plan for all of us and He took Gary before he would have experienced potentially severe pain – I'm so grateful for that. Gary, I hope our paths cross again one day. Until then, RIP in God's love and be assured you will never be forgotten. Love always, my friend. Sharon
Good man with a sense of humor,playing cards on Saturdays at the campgrounds will not be the same.
Keep that campfire going for us and MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!
I offer my condolences for you loss. Continue to lean on family and friends for support. Also, God comforts us at Revelation 21:3, 4 when we mourn on occasions like this. May you find the strength to endure the days ahead.
Sorry We missed the services. We are out of the state at our granddaughter's graduation from college. I remember Gary well. Sorry for your lose. Sincerely Bobby B
