Dear Dottie,Christine and David,
I will forever hold my fond memories of my dear brother in my heart. He was always patient, a gentleman and very caring of us all. We had a wonderful family life together with many laughs and happy times. We loved to tease Gary about his funny little things that older brothers do to their sibblings, but they were always in fun.
I loved him with my whole heart and will continue to pray for him daily. I have to believe that he is with my Mom and Dad and brother now. A safe and caring place.
I hope you will all be well, and God will give you the strength that he gave me to go on with my life. I know you will have many trying times,but he does lead us. Remember that you are all loved .
Our Blessings to you, Aunt Anne and Norm
