Gary, sometimes it seems so unreal that you are really gone. You kept telling me you would be and I refused to believe it. I now treasure the gift of huggums and the kisses on my forehead you gave me EVERY DAY. You gave me a treasure full of memories to carry me through. I miss you so much my bro.

Jesus said: John 10:27-29 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.” Gary, I shall not be able to see you again this side of heaven and this is my great loss. I love you cousin and look forward to seeing you one glad day in heaven.

Because life is precious, it can be hard to let our loved ones go when the time comes for them to depart this earth and go to heaven. And yet God has set a time when He plans to call us home. Psalm 116:15 tells us, "Precious in the sight of The Lord is the death of HIs saints." When Gary saw that death was near He was encouraged by what awaited him in heaven: "Finally there is laid up for me the Crown of righteousness, which The Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing." (2 Timothy 4:8) No matter where Christians are in life's journey, there ultimate destination is to "be with Christ, which is far better." (Philippians 1:23) This should give us confidence in facing life's challenges and comfort when other believers leave us for that glorious home Christ has prepared. Life's greatest joy is the sure hope of Heaven. Gary we love you tremendously and we'll miss you greatly.
