Kathy,Tia,Stacy,Adam -I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. My thoughts and prayers have been with you. I cherish the conversations my brother and I had recently, which brought us closer together since the passing of our mother, grandma. He was so very proud of his family. Gar will be missed but find comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering, and is up with our mother, grandma.
