Gary,
We were so fortunate to be considered your friends. You were a great guy and treated us like gold. I can't go onto the Chapel Hill property without thinking of you. I'm glad you were in the process of moving there as I know it brought you much joy. You will be very much missed. The barbecues and times spent just chatting will forever be in our thoughts. As will you. I hope you're resting peacefully. I will miss your jokes and smile. (smile now) Rest in peace dear friend. Janet and Doug Rice

We have the most fantastic love for one another, fitting so perfectly reminds me this plan is not ours. I firmly believe an Angel is still inside of me ensuring we follow through with what God has planned. There is something very important that He wants done, I know this so surely even though I am not where you are, in your faith. I do know I am to follow you, you are leading me for this task that we have to see through, whatever it may be.

how fortunate we were - for the best possible outcome

A very short 11 months ago I was brought together with Gary Steven Stahl, a man that I came to dearly love, guided by the Spirit of Christ. We planned to marry and have a beautiful life, a continuation of the courtship we so thoroughly enjoyed.

We talked in great detail about how we were brought together by God, and that it was not in fact about us, but something that we needed to do together. We speculated about what that something was, but only God knew. Sadly but beautifully, this past weekend told the full story.

It came to pass that it was my service to Christ to teach and prepare him for his Heavenly Home, as he passed away quickly on Saturday morning at his home in New York, just moments after speaking with me. He was fully and completely happy.

I am honored to serve, filled with peace that he is welcomed home, knowing that our time will be infinite together now. Indeed, we were not brought together to fulfill these earthly dreams, but to fulfill a glorious life of salvation, the most important and enduring life we can have.

There will be a memorial service for Gary Steven Stahl at St. John Lutheran Church (4608 Brambleton Ave in Roanoke) on Sunday, Sept 7 at 12:30. If it is in your heart to join us, please do. We will celebrate you, Gary. We will celebrate you.

My dear Gary,

I was told by your closest friends that you were never happier than during this last year. You loved me so completely, from the inside out, and everyone could see the change in you.

Everyone could see that we looked fabulous together.

I will miss everything about you.

"Good morning my love" and "yes, the love of my life"

our phone dates and Starbucks dates,

the way you cared for so many, selflessly and endlessly,

the lessons of eternal value you taught my son,

the way you happily followed me, wanting to learn and grow,

the way we both felt more like ourselves than ever before,

and they way we grew as one, each and every moment we spent together.

I came from your mind, you came from my heart.

I know you are well now, perfectly healed. You wore that cross with Jesus from the moment of purchase to the moment of death, and now you are healed.

From May 19

I Love You So Very Much Kristin,

Would you care to dance
is how it started
and you took my hand

There was a smile at first sight
it seemed so magical, heavenly
and the night was so bright

We continued on our way
will you love me forever
wondering, we had to know

I knew how to love you,
being my imaginary lover
knowing you so well

Then the year turned new
so many changes
so many Thursdays

Now it goes on
as meant to be
from heaven above

You were my dream come true
I was an answer to your prayer
soon we'll breath together as one

I believe in you, forever
I'll fall in love with you always
into eternity my borderline angel

Someone who really loves you
Gary

Eternally yours, definitely
the love of your life
and borderline angel

Gary, Since you left us so suddenly, it still doesn't seem real that you are gone & we won't ever see you again. You will always be in our hearts and on our minds. We'll miss you at the barn & your silly humor at our little cookouts. You were an awesome man with a big heart and you will be missed by everyone that came into contact with you. May you rest in peace.
