Carrie & Family,
Having known a person so caring and generous as Gary has been a great joy in my life. I know he wouldn't want us to feel the pain we are now faced with, even though our loss is great. I will always treasure the memories of the time we shared together.

Carrie,
Just want to express how sorry we are for your loss. The short time that I knew Gary, he would do anything for anybody, that's just the way he was. His kindness towards me was greatly appreciated. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

Dear Joe, Joan, Carrie & family,
There are many memories that we have of Gary & Kyle from when we lived in Massachusetts. They are the happy ones, the ones that you should hold on to for comfort. It will be hard not to have him near to you, but he will always be with you as long as you remember him.
Remember that 'God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December'.
Gary was a blessing. Honor and treasure his life and your memories of him. Grieve for your loss. There will be a large void in your lives. Fill that void with memories and after a while the loss won't hurt as much. You will be able to let go of your sorrows a little at a time; I know - I have experienced it.
We are greiving with you. Rest peacefully, Gary.
Love, Cousin Gail and Norm
