It was such an honor to be Gary's home health nurse. He was such a pleasure to see every week and always in good spirits. My heart and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time.

My condolences on your loss, I probably met Gary at or of more of Aunt Boopies reunions but really don't remember him. May God be with you all at this time of loss.
