Dear Mitzi, I happened to check the daily log on line today and saw Gary's name and knew it had to be your Gary. I went to the archived obituaries and found his. I am so sorry to hear about this. We haven't talked since shortly after you left BCBSO. I'm sure you have been through a lot in recent times. You and the boys and their families are in my prayers. Please e-mail me so we can get together. I hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Mitzi. I watch the paper on line every day but when I see someone who was so much of my life when we were in school it leaves me stuned. I'm so sorry for you and your family. Sue and I have moved to Florida so we can't see you but please know our thoughts are with all of you.

I'm going to miss my Uncle Noah so so much. He was such a sweet man and I will never forget his laugh.
Brent, Brandon, Mitzi and Reggie... You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you so much...
