Not sure what to say?

12 years Dad. I hate my life without you in it. So many things have changed since you left. Id love to call ya and tell you about it.

To read what everyone has wrote, lets us all know how special Gary was. He is and will continue to be missed. But when you think of Gary, remember the good times and he will live on in your memories. I know first hand how much pain there is to lose someone you loved so deeply. I know what Linda has been going thru. Even after 7 years I think about Michael everyday. But he lives on thru my children and grandbabies. I think now how many people from the "hood" that passed too soon. I believe...

Uncle Gary and I ( Angelina) 2005

It's been a year to the day that my uncle has passed. I love my Uncle Gary, he was one of the few people that I could openly speak about anything to. He's known me my whole life, I wish that I could've gotten to know him better. He was a genuine, funny, kind man. I miss him every single day.

Your parents, Walter and Anne Roberts

Hey Uncle Gary,
Well, it's a year today that you left us...it just doesn't seem to get any easier to live with. Sharing stories about you with keith, and some of your friends makes me feel like you're still here. Mostly I hear about how helpful you were to others, even strangers, and you never said a word about it, you just did special things and kept it to yourself. I'll keep you alive in my heart and my memories.
I love you so much,
Yvonne

Hey Dad,
I just wanted to throw down a quick entry to let you know how much I miss you. When you left this world I lost my best friend. Nothing could ever replace the good times we had. My life will never be the same without you. The worst part is it has been a year now and I never even knew this was here. What can I say Im always the last to know.
Not a day passes I dont think out you. I LOVE YOU DAD

Your son
Keith
