I want you to know how glad and grateful I am to have met you and Gary and to have touched your lives, it really means alot to me.I will never forget my last conversation with Gary and I'm so grateful that we got to tell each other that we love each other and Jill it was so obvious that he really loved you and don't forget that.We love you to and are still thinking about you and you are still part of our family!

Dearest Jill,
How can mere words express the feelings you must have right now? Though I never met Gary, I know that he was a very good husband to you - from your talking about him. As much as you miss him, his being with the Lord is what his life was all about, and he has reached the goal we are all striving for. We love you very much (even though you tortured me as a small innocent child), and are praying for God's comfort on you and Jared. God bless you!! To put it most eloquently, I believe Mom would say you have been a tall woman, Jill. Thank you!!!!

Dear Jill and Jared,
No one can know the sorrow and the emptiness that you will experience because of Gary's passing on into glory. We pray that God will be with both of you, especially during the holiday season. Gary was such a blessing every year at Ladies Conference. He seemed to delight in being a servant to the older ladies that needed some assistance getting in and out of their vehicles during the conference. He knew how to be a gentlemen! He will be missed greatly.He loved the Lord and I'm sure he's enjoying Heaven! What a day that will be, when we also get to heaven!

My heart goes out to all of Gary's family. His passing will leave an emptyness in everyone's heart that knew him. He was my cousin & my friend. May God bless you, comfort you,& grant you peace.

We love you very much Jill and want you to know that we will be there for you during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Love,

Mom,
What can I say that would make any kind of sense right now. We shared many many great memories with Gary. You are a wonderful woman, and mother, and you fit nicely with Gary, a wonderful dad.
Gary is the very personification of what God can do to an imperfect heart, and an imperfect life. On the potters wheel Gary was slowly molded, and shaped into everything he should be. Now Gary sits in Heaven as a pot on the masters mantle, a finished product of what God wanted to do with his life. Gary is perfect now, he has a spotless record, a record that was cleansed with the blood of Jesus.
Never again will we guess about his coming end, we have already seen it, and we have already felt Gary tugging our hearts toward Heaven from his mansion in the sky.
The Bible says that old things will pass away and all things will become new, such is the case of Gary's legacy, he will never be remembered for his wrongs, but his rights.
I Love You.

Jill, Mother and I will miss Gary very much. Mother enjoyed having him help her out of the car and walk her to the door. Knowing he's in a better place will ease the pain and all the good memories will remain. Lord bless you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I last saw you in the canteen and we spoke for a while. If I would have only known that was the last time I was going to see you I would have stayed and talked longer. You will be missed. Jill, if you need anything please let me know.
