Time has taken me from you,
Although not very far.
I'll be watching through the sunshine
And through the brightest star.
I'll be watching all of you,
From the heavens up above.
So take good care of each other
And carry all my love.
If you're ever wondering
If I'm there, here's where you can start.
Take a look inside yourself
Deep within your heart.
I'll always be your husband,father, grandfather and best friend.,
So anytime you need me,
Close your eyes I'm back again.

Connie: We were so sorry to hear about Gary. We feel terrible that we are neighbors and we didn't know about this until days later through a mutual friend at Wayside. Thinking of you and your family during this very difficult time and season. We hope to see you around the neighborhood soon.
