Hi Georgia, Gina,and John - I just heard of your fathers passing. Im very sorry for your loss. He was a great man and will be missed. - Tom Rysdyk

John and Tammy, So sorry to read of Garys' passing. He was such a sweet person and follower of Christ. I enjoyed many years at Bella Vista worshiping with him and your Mom. He is now where all Christians yearn to be one day. God be with you all! In Christian Love Sharon Brown
