Many prayers to Karen and family. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to not seeing Gary sitting on that beautiful porch of theirs waving or taking time to talk and encourage me to hang in there when I was having a bad day. We have lost a good man and good friend to our family and the whole Lancaster Camp Ground.
