Diana, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Gary gave me my start in Memphis and I was sorry to see him leave the company. I would not be where I am today if not for him. I really enjoyed working with Gary and learned a lot from him.

Diana and family, My deepest heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you. May you be comforted by God's love and wonderful memories.
