Betty and George
Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow. He is now looking down and thanking you for being with him during the last several months.
God Bless you and your family.
I never got to meet Gary but heard many good things about him from his sister Betty whom loved him very much. Also his brother-in- law George. I'm so happy for Gary that Betty and George were there for him from the first minute they found out abut his illness right up to the end. That is showing their love and what kind of caring people they are.
My prayers are with them and also his Sister in New Mexico.
Love Myra
