Gary,
I know time has gone by, but you are still in my thoughts. I've had a few dreams about you and they are so real, but most importantly they are happy dreams.I always thought you'd be here, and someday we could get old and talk about the good old days. I know you are close by, just a gut feeling. I loved you than, and love you now..
Rest in Peace Gobbles,
DENISE~~~

Uncle Gary,

I will always remember you as my funny uncle!! Everytime you were around it was a sure quick run to the bathroom due to the laughter you caused!! It was that, or wet draws!! As you knew, never a dull moment at 12 Lexie, but you always seemed to bring out the fun in all of us. Holidays, watching the house while we went away & coming away with us, living with us, or just a quick visit, we will all be able to look back at those times and laugh :) You are at peace now and I am sure doing what you do best, making people laugh :) Rest in peace. You will never be forgotten.

Love,

Your only niece

Ronnie & Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Gary was always one to put a smile on anyone's face. Perhaps he is smiling at us now. He was my one true love and I shall always love him and miss him dearly..

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Love, Lois
