Had a "girls night out" with Sis last night. Just her and I. We laughed, cried and shared "Remember When". After giving your Eulogy, I thought to myself that maybe now all the kids could understand why I have been so bossy. (smile) I was the "oldest sister" and had to take care of all of you. Its hard to see you guys leave before me. Its almost as if I didn't do a very good job of caring for you. I love you. More than you know. I wish things could have been different. I'm glad for the last five years tho. SIS--"your sister is calling you" (smile)

It has been 16 days since you left us and it feels like it has been forever. I have went to call you so many times. It just breaks my heart that you are no longer here. Love you so much

Gary, there is no pain greater that loosing a loved one. My hopes are that your children and other loved ones will find comfort in the fact that you are with Grandma Audrey, Grandpa Bud, Uncle Donald and Barbara. My prayers are that the family will draw strength from each other and celebrate the time they had with you. I am blessed to have known you for the years that I did. May God be with your loved ones. Niki Lane
