Not sure what to say?

To the family of Gary, I worked with Monica at the phone company many years ago, but I still remember her talking about her brother Gary & am very sad for your loss. I realize this is quite late, I was trying to find Monica on facebook and could not find her, but came across this sad notice instead. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, I hope you are all starting to heal from the pain that l'm sure you've suffered, and please let Monica know I think of her & her kids often. Linda Thomas

Today, Tomorrow, Always,

Beth, It has been a long time since I've seen you, but I saw this in the paper and my heart went out to you. Please know that we are thinking of you.

I am sorry to hear to hear about Gary, I worked with Gary at Manchester Tool, such a nice guy. Please accept my condolences, and know you and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Beth,
There are no words that we can offer now, but just know that if you need anything, please dont hesitate to ask. We pray that your heavy heart will grow lighter in time.

Mrs. Rhoades,
I worked with Gary at Manchester Tools and was quite jealous of him and all of the wonderful things he talked about with me. From your beautiful family, the new house in Green, vacations in Mexico and elsewhere, I know that you were all truly blessed with great memories shared with a great person.
There is no doubt Gary will be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

Dear Mrs. Rhoades,
I am grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Gary. I was his Occupational Therapist at Summa. Despite all that he was going through, he always arrived with a smile and a quick witted comment. I am so sorry for your loss and you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless.
