To Garry's family:

I work at his doctor's office and am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was always so cheerful bringing us candy, even tho he didn't want to be at the Dr's office. He struggled those last few months and I know he is in a better place. I too lost my son Eric, on March 1, 2006. Eric was only 25 and this was very sudden. One of my friends said "When you look into the sky at night don't see just the stars, those are the porch lights welcoming Eric home." I too wish for your family, peace and comfort during this time. Garry those porch lights are for you too. I'll miss you. God Bless you and peace be with you.

My regards to this family. Mr. Smith reminded me of my father I lost on April 28, 2003. His soulful look & big frame. My heart goes out to Beth & the rest of the family.

God Bless
