Overwhelming sadness. My memories of Gary will never fade…..Stories that make us laugh will be told and re-told for all time…pictures have taken on new meaning ( although still stunned at how dark his hair used to be…and so much hair!) He was always happy to be with friends, so devoted to family. He was a man of great strength throughout life and especially in his last days, thanking us for being with him and helping Susan. To my dear and best friend, Susan, I love you and grieve with you, but, in my heart and soul, I know Gary will be always with you, as you were with him, and help you, one hour, one day at a time.
