Dear Cindy, Hughey and family,
We were sad to hear that Gary had died. We can still see him sitting on the porch next door or driving out the drive in the white car. He would always be sure to give us a big wave each time. Gary was always such a kind and friendly person to everyone that he met.
We pray that you feel God's presence in the days ahead and find comfort in his promise of eternal life for all those who believe.
We love you all,
Joel, Jennifer, Nathan, and Luke Taylor

Gary was a humble, teddy bear who lived & loved the simple life. His voice echos in my mind . . . & when you hoped to bless him it was you that ended up being blessed . . .
