Gary A. Stephens

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Gary was a wonderful, passionate, caring, generous person, who's time on earth was cut short. But at least he is with the great lord and in peace. I know that he is looking down upon everyone he loved and cared about and is keeping a watchful eye on them. (Worked at Wal-mart with Gary, the Three Rivers store, also worked with him at K-mart in portage)

GARY IN JAMAICA MAY 2007

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Our deepest sympathys to the loved ones of Gary. He made a lot of peoples life more special, espacially Sharons and for that we will always hold him a special place in our hearts. we know he is with GOD and is whole again.

I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I was a friend of Gary's brother, Tom, and we all grew up in the same neighborhood. Please accept my sympathies for the loss of Gary, your loved one.

GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN
AND HE FOUND AN EMPTY PLACE.
AND THEN HE LOOKED DOWN UPON THE EARTH,
AND SAW YOUR TIRED FACE.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU,
AND LIFTED YOU TO REST.
GOD'S GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL,
HE ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST.
HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE SUFFERING,
HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE IN PAIN,
HE KNEW THAT YOU WOULD NEVER
GET WELL ON EARTH AGAIN.
HE SAW THE ROAD WAS GETTING ROUGH,
AND THE HILLS WERE HARD TO CLIMB,
SO HE CLOSED YOUR WEARY...
