I guess I have not been a very good friend these past few years. I should have called, I should have kept in touch. A few weeks ago I did drive by your house to see if you were around. It looked quiet and abandoned there and I was sure that you had moved away. Today I learned that you had to leave us and that the good lord had called you home. The reason why is clear to me. We talked about this philosophically in our many conversations. Like you I have never questioned God's plan. With that being said the world will never be as colorful as it once was, my heart never that light.... Goodbye my friend I will see you soon.

Dear Zubeida,
Words cannot express the heartache we feel for you and your family.
Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen; unheard; but always near. Still loved; still missed; and very dear.
May all the love and friendship that surround you, help you find strength and peace during this time as we hold you close in prayers.

With deepest sympathy.

Your friends from Rockledge II

I met Gary about a year ago at Battley's. In the this very short time we talked a bit. Gary was full of life and very wonderful to be around. I was truly touched to hear of this tragic accident. He will be missed. My prayer to his family.

I didn't know Gary personally but I am a motorcyclist who lives in the neighborhood (just off Greentree Rd). I can see that my son, Nathan's, old boss at V&D Pizza was one of Gary's friends. I was very sorry to hear of this tragic accident that took Gary's life. I wanted to wish his family strength through this very difficult time. RIP Gary.

I just want to say how very sorry I am for your recent loss of your father. I know that this is a sad and difficult time for you.

At times like this our faith serves us well. We can take solace in knowing that your dad has gone to his eternal rest. He lived a faith-filled and upright life and he will be remembered for all the good that he did in his lifetime.

I ask that God bestow His choicest blessings on you and your wonderful family. May your faith give you the strength to carry on.

God Bless You.
Be strong!

Yours Truly,

Annittia and Family
