Hey Gary.
Been thinking of you so much lately. Jess and I took Malia to visit with your mom on New Years. Walking into your mom's was so bittersweet.... you were everywhere. Everywhere where I looked I saw you, I saw us. I miss you, my darling. I wish that I could change so much. I wish we had more time... I wish I wish. I love you.

Hey.......... you have been on my mind more than usual lately. Is it a sign? We have a beautiful granddaughter, Malia. You would love her Gary. I so wish you were here to enjoy her.

You know that I have been thinking that our 10 year anniversary just passed. We had so many dreams, huh... so many plans. I am so sad that we never got to experience them. My heart aches just as much today as it did July 31, 2008. Nothing has changed - nothing has gotten easier.

My mom is sick, Gary. She was diagnosised with terminal cancer. I feel cheated... first you were taken from me, then my dad in August and now my mom is soon to follow. It doesn't seem fair! There are so many times I feel so alone here... you know how I hate to be alone. I get scared :(

I love you my darling.... always and forever and thank you for feeling the same. Your last words to me are my comfort. Rest peacefully and take care of my dad. xoxoxo

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Oh Gary.... every time I look on this page my heart breaks, my eyes swell and I can't breathe. Why???? I will never understand. I miss you.

So many changes are happening in my life. I am not feeling very strong. I need your strength, Gary. Please watch over me and help me to make the right decisions.

Matt is finally coming home. Can you believe it??!! It has been 5 years. Oh how I wish you could be here with me to greet him when he comes off the plane. I know that the reality of you being gone will hit him when he returns. He has always felt a strong bond to you Gary. You were his "dad" in every way.

You will always be in my heart...... those were your last words to me. Ditto baby.

Chris Clegg

Hey baby...... thank you.... thank you so much. I know that you were there with Jess. I know that you were there to give her the strength she needed to get away from that dog. YOU saved her. I truly believe that. She told me that she was calling to you.

Merry Christmas, Sweetheart.... It is not very merry here for me and the kids without you. Every ornament and decoration holds a dear memory - painful yet sweet. Gary, I miss you more than you could ever know. I can still not accept that you are gone from us. I know in my heart that you are finally at peace and in a better place....... but for me I am broken. I miss you and love you very much. Please don't ever forget me, never forget us.... Sweet dreams, my darling.

Happy Birthday, my beautiful angel...... oh how I wish that you were here. I miss you so. Today it has been exactly three months since you have left us. Gary, my heart is so pained... part of me is so angry that you were taken from us much too soon....and part of me is so sad for wasting precious time, time with you I would give anything to have again.

The nights you visit me in my dreams are both wonderful and heartbreaking. I am so at peace when you are with me in my dreans, and so empty and lost when I awake to find you gone. You have taught me so much Gary, even in death. I now know to treasure each moment with my loved ones, not to take a single moment for granted. Thank you, my darling.

Today I will spend with your mom. We will celebrate you....celebrate all that you have given and shown us. I know that you will be there with us, smiling, laughing, crying at all of our memories.

Gary, I love you.... and I miss you...... but most of all I miss US.
Rest peacefully, my love,
Chris

Today is a hard day for me.... the leaves are changing, the air is brisk - a sign of autumn. Autumn, your favorite season, your birthday... I miss you so much, Gary. I miss the life we had. It has been 8 weeks since you've gone, 54 days of pain. I don't know how I am going to live the rest of my life without you in it.... I miss hearing your voice, seeing your face. I miss your love and support. It just doesn't seem fair Gary. I don't understand why it had to be YOU to go??????

Know that I love you, my sweet Gary. Know that I will NEVER forget you, NEVER forget our life together. I miss you...... rest peacefully my love.

ODE TO GARY - I believe that the life of a soul lasts long beyond it,s earthly departure. I also believe that I will continue to feel your life touching mine, your sweet voice speaking to me through familiar things I see and touch, your spirit reaching out to me through the eyes of others. I will continue, always, to reflect on and love the essence of you. Your life lives on Gary, through my own and through all of those who love you. ................................................always and forever, ............................................................................Lynne

Today marks a month since you have left us...... the longest hardest month I have ever faced. Each morning I wake up hoping this has all been a horrible nightmare.... hoping that you are here with us. God, it hurts so much, an unbearable pain.

I have finally told Matt, Gary. He is so devastated ----- please watch over him and keep him safe.

I know that you are watching over us....... I take comfort in that. I love you, my darling. You are in my every thought every day. Rest peacefully, baby.

I just wish we could hang out one last time. I remember every moment of my life that i shared with you gary. You ALWAYS took care of me and I will never forget it. My mother is crushed right now, she loves you deeply Gary and I know you know that. I will never ever forget you Gary i just want to see you... I even work at Dunkin Donuts now (your favorite place.. Large Hazelnut Ice regular... :( i just miss you so much, im dying here. Im just so incredibly hurt that your gone, I cant handel it.. I just can't believe it, it's just hard for me to handel right now. Im just messing up right and left, but if you were here I know you would have straightened me out. Gary please come back I dont want you to leave meee. I hope your finally happy and not struggeling. I love you ALWAYS and FOREVER..

My dearest Gary,
I love you so much.... I MISS you more. You were a very precious gift to me. You opened your life and your heart to us. You were the father my(our) children needed. You were my best friend, my soul mate, my everything for so long.....

Gary, if I were to be granted one wish in this lifetime, it would be that you are finally at peace. You deserve peace, you deserved happiness. You have touched so many of us with your love and your generosity. You have made me a better person, and for that I am forever grateful.

Please Gary, never forget me.... as I will NEVER forget you. I will always remember our life together.... from our carefree days of dating at 16 to the beautiful love and bond we shared years later. You truly were a special man, Gary - a man who deserved so much better.

I will always look up to you for strength and guidance for the rest of my life. I know that you will always be close by and always be there for me as you were here on earth.

Until we meet again, my darling.... rest in peace.
All my love,
Chris
