Dearest Rod, Pauline & Family
Words alone cannot express our sympathy on the untimely death of your beloved son, brother and friend. To say that Gary's time with us was far too short is an understatement. The reality is that he will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew him.
No doubt the outpouring of sympathy you have received since his parting has been of some consolation. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to you of how well-loved and liked Gary was.
I hope that you and your family will find peace and comfort in knowing that his just rewards await him.
We offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.
I ask for God's blessings on you and your wonderful family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that Gary will be thought of often.

May God bless you and your wonderful family.
Yours In Faith, friendship,
Gary & Robin Suprenant
