Gerri, I am so very sorry about your loss! May God comfort your family during this difficult time. The slide show was great! What a kind, generous and class act gentlemen. Mr. Gary was so professional and helpful to me as I did Grief Seminars in Columbus during the 90's when there was a lot of gang violence and I requested that he bring a casket to make an impact on the audiences on the "finality" of death and he did it twice without charge! He even sat in one of my seminars at Mt. Carmel West and I appreciated him being there on the front row as a support to my volunteer efforts to assist professionals and lay persons on this important topic. The casket made quite an impact on the audience and was extremely helpful to my presentation and I am eternally grateful to him and the organization for being so helpful and generous.
May he rest in peace.
