Taken from us all far too soon, none of us can truly feel the depth of the loss we know you must feel. Gary will be missed in so many ways and our sorrow for your loss cannot be fully expressed by mere words. May God's richest Comfort, Blessings, Peace, Hope, Joy and Healing be at the forefront of this new path that has come far too soon.

Sue and Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

His Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of him as gone away
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much
