To Pepe (angel in my eyes), her loving family,all my cousin and all of Gary's friends. No words can ease our pain or filled our lost. But knowing Gary, a man of few words, a man that give unconditional love to all he knew,a man who love to write and sing songs to those he loves, would want us to sing 2 songs when we think of him.
1)You light up our lives
2)Dont worry about a thing.....

Thanks for all good memories. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU

Our deepest sympathy to Pepe, and all my cousins who mourn the loss of a great Brother, to all my Aunts, Uncles and all of Gary's friends I pray that you will find the strength at those quiet times to reflect on the great memories of Gary. Another one has been taken away from this great family, and I am sorry we could not be there in person. I still remember the summer holidays i spent with these cousins in Guyana and Gary was the big brother. Love you all...Marcia, Mark and Ashley..

Gary has left us an example of how one should live.He gave everything to ensure the welfare of others.He has set the bar so high for us to follow in taking care of his brother and mother when they were ill along with his amazing wife (our Pepe).Someone even said that they believe he was called to sainthood immediately.I know he is in Heaven because of the promise of Jesus."for God so loved the world(Gary)that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.John 3:16.Gary told me he knew he was going to be with Jesus when I visited him a month ago.I know for sure he'll be waiting to meet us on Heaven's shore.The parting is so temporary.May God grant strength to his Wife,brothers,sisters,friends and relatives and in-Laws who are grieving now.Until we meet again Gary. In Gods care. Love to all. Michael and Norma,Timothy and Daniela,Jonathan and Jacqueline.

To Dear Gloria and Family (de Nobrega & Boodram)
We are so very sad to hear of Gary's passing - our love goes out to you all. It was so nice to see you both here in Trinidad last year and to once again meet Gary who I had not seen since I was a young child. Gary's smile is something that I will never forget - it just lights up a room. And the love and respect that he seemed to have for you Gloria was so visible - keep that in you heart always. Take care of yourself..
Love Debbie and Family and Aunty Umbelina
