Not sure what to say?

I BELIEVE that´s the snow you say

Gods Child !

I am truly sorry for the loss your family is experiencing this holiday season; though it is never easy to lose a loved one, I know it's even harder during the holidays, for the loss always seems greater during this time of year! My thoughts and prayers are full with love and compassion for all who loved him; I know he was a great friend, and I know he was proud of his family because when he talked about them he always did so with a smile that was contagious and showed just that.

So grateful to have shared in so many good times ,family gatherings and to have been a part of the family . Telling you I was making fried chicken and before I could even get it started you were walking through the door asking “is it ready ?”or the time you stopped what you were doing to come help me when I had a flat tire and the time we spent just one on one at my office working on that shoulder pain . I will cherish the conversations that we shared during those times and hold them close to...

Miss you Cary, you were always there to help a friend. I will never forget you. I love you always.

In loving memory of a wonderful person who was always there to help anyway possible. We will love you and miss you always. Love u!
