Dear Bonnie

I am so very very sorry. I talked to Gary in 2006 making up for lost time. I told him bur I don't know if he told you. Yes I was the source of the Candy Gram back in the day. Peace

Dear Bonnie, I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful big brother ... he always thought the world of you! Even though our marriage did not work out, I am so glad Gary and I remained friends for over 45 years. He will be missed ... not just by me, but by everyone who got to know him and appreciate his friendship, sense of humor, generosity, intelligence, loyalty, and ... I could go on and on. Gary, may you rest in peace, my dear friend. Love, Geri

Our friend Gary will be missed. He is a special person and now is singing with the choir of angels and in the loving arms of God. I will never forget him. I send my love and prayers to his sister.
