Gary F. Wirth

It is so hard to believe that 14 years have passed by since we lost you. Still seems like yesterday. I think about you so often. Sometimes with tears and other times with laughter. I can still hear your voice and see those funny faces. Ryan has so many of your characteristics that whenever I look at him I see you and it warms my heart. Please continue to watch over us. You remain forever in my heart. Your loving sister.

Daddy,
I am missing you like crazy, remembering the 4th of the July's we spent by the pool. Listening to Radar and Shadoe bark and howl because of the fireworks. It doesn't get easier not having you here, no matter what people say, I don't think it will ever get easy. I'm grateful for my happy childhood memories, but not hearing your voice, not hearing your laugh, not seeing your face, not hugging you as hard as i can, is just wrong.I miss you ever day with all my heart!
Until we...

Gary,

We'll be celebrating Michael's birthday next week. I hope you'll be there ... I'm always waiting to hear from you ...

Karen

My Dear Gary,

I started to write on the anniversary of your passing and found I just couldn't put words to page. It is still so very hard to wrap my mind around. I think of you every single day. It's funny, how many things in this world remind me of you. One year has passed but the wounds have not healed yet. I miss you my friend. I miss you.

Karen

My Dearest, Dearest Brother,

I cannot believe that a year has gone by since you passed. There hasn’t been one day that I haven’t thought about you. On occasion something would happen, whether it be a joke, or a comment someone made, or something on television and my immediate reaction was to pick up the phone and call you only to remember that you were gone. We all miss your smile, your witty sense of humor, and most of all just your presence. Only God knows why he took you so...

Yesterday was Father's Day and my husband was taken out to lunch by his daughter and son. At lunch, Gary's name came up and when it did, after the conversation we all realized how wonderful it was to still have Pete to commiserate with and love. The passing of Gary was such a shock to all of us that it makes us realize how short the time is that we have with our loved ones. We are still remembering Gary with warmth and love in our hearts.

My Dearest Brother,

Tomorrow is Fathers Day and I’m sitting here thinking about Daddy and missing you more than ever. There are so many times that things happen and my first thought is to call you. That’s when the tears flow.

I have tried to honor all of your wishes and be there for Lene and try to help Alison and Michael get thru one of the hardest times of their lives. I hope that I have managed to make you proud and not disappoint you. You know that I am not the type...

My Life Long Friend,

Your daughter's birthday is almost here. My heart, as I am sure, her heart, has not yet healed. I want you to be here to celebrate 32 years on this earth. I knew you when you were 32 .... we celebrated together. Gary ... my friend, I want you to be here for your baby girl's birthday. You are not .... Gary, how do we go on? Why do we go on? I miss you my friend. I love you with my whole heart and I miss you every single day that life moves on without you. Gary...
