Not sure what to say?

We never forget the people who leave a impression on us. Missing both Gary and Sharon, but unfortunately time moves on and we all get a little older and probably couldn't keep up to those two now. Hugs to their family.

We am so sorry for the loss in your family. We met Gary and Sharon in Mission Tx years ago and had so much fun with them, we miss those famous baked beans. Loma and I spent time with your parents when they purchased the house across the street from them and again Sharon Spencer and I visited with your Dad in late Sept and he seemed so good and optimistic about his health. I also just called him Dec 11th and he did tell me he was in hospital and having trouble getting his breath. I could not...

I never met Gary Carpenter, however, many years ago, I had the pleasure of working with Sharon at Jersey Community Hospital. She was a great lady and talked non-stop about her family. I'm sorry I didn't realize she had passed as well. My thoughts and prayers are with their family now.

I was so sorry to hear this sad news. Uncle Gary was a wonderful man and I have so many fond memories of him. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

Uncle Gary was a part of many of my fondest memories as a kid; from birthday parties at their farm in Bunker Hill, to summer vacations at Lake of the Ozarks, to Christmas at Granny and Grandpa Carpenter's. He was a gentle soul and it was always a joy to share his company. He will be missed and remembered.

Gary and Sharon were the best in-laws I could ever ask for. They took me and my boys in as their own from day 1 and never thought twice about it. Gary, we know your in heaven line dancing away with Sharon. We will miss you so much but you will always and forever be in our hearts. Love, Jeannie, Aaron and Chris.

You will be missed so much Dad.

Alan and I met Gary and Sharon many years ago in Mission Texas and became very good friends and had so many fun times together. I am so sad for their family. I'm sure my Alan, Gary and Sharon are in heavon golfing together. I sure hope so. Miss you my friends. Love Sheila
