Pat,

Gary and I were long time freinds that date back to school in Emporia. Although we lost touch with one another over the years I have fond memories of so many times together.

Upon returning from a long business trip, I just learned of Gary's passing. I am sorry I was not able to tell him how much his friendship in our younger days meant to me. I am saddened by this news and extend my prayers to you. Gary will be in my prayers tonight.

Gary was a great person to be around and to work with. He will be very much missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pat and the rest of the family. The void that occurs when we lose a loved one is so difficult to deal with, but know that the Lord understands the hurt and will be there to help the healing.
