REST IN PEACE - finally. Only remember Gary from our youth. Coming to Aunt Rose and Uncle Herb's home on Hillcrest Drive was always a treat. Gary had the coolest toys and Rose gave us Pepsi. I hope that he is at peace and comforted again by Rose and Herb's unconditional love.

Sara, I wish there were some special words to ease your pain, because I'd share them, if there were. Yes, if it were within my ability, I'd ease the sadness in your heart & lift the weight from your shoulders. Alas, it is not mine to do. However, I'm here, my friend. I'm here thinking of Gary's smile and all the wondrous stories you have shared. Keep them close. Know he loves you & is now your Guardian Angel forevermore.
