Lorrie,
Gary was such an inspiration to me while I was going through chemo. His love of our Lord was evident in his life as he shared this faith with those of us around him. My prayer is God will grant you and your family peace during your grief.

To Gary's family: Trish & I go to church with Lorri's parents & have been praying for Gary for months. We share in your grief but also rejoice in knowing he is no longer suffering & is with God in glory. We did not know Gary but understand he was a fine young man. May God strengthen & encourage all of you as you deal with this loss.

Dear Lorri,
So sorry I was out of town when Gary died. You two have become so special to me during the brief time I have come to know you. Without doubt you have been an inspiration to many as you and Gary experienced the life ending process. Just know God will continue to comfort you and be there for you during your bereavement. I look forward to continuing our friendship at church and hopefully in the "Red Hats". I will be in touch as soon as I return home. Love in Christ, Jean Purcell

Bill & Kay,
I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Gary but I knew the both of you. Gary had to be a wonderful person. I was at the Graveside Service today in Macon. I felt such a loss at not knowing Gary. He touched so many lives. If he did that here on this earth, imagine what he will accomplish in Heaven. God Bless you and your entire family.

I met Gary and You too Miss Lorri, through a mutual friend, (Angie Leggett) after a battle of my own, with cancer, and tried to be a guiding light for Gary. I am sorry for your loss, and the loss of such a giving a caring person for this community.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To all family and friends,
Gary’s passing comes as both a shock and a great loss. Gary was the type of person who left a positive presence on anyone he came into contact with. Even if you didn’t see him often, just the tuck away knowledge that you may run into him somewhere was enough to bring you comfort and a smile. He was that type of guy. My heart truly goes out to everyone who has ever met him; because to meet him is to be his friend.
Sincerely
Jesse Hoskins

I worked with Gary at the Georgia Power call center in Macon for a short time before he moved over to Key St. He was a great mentor and employee as well as person. I was shocked to hear of his passing. Cancer is a horrible disease, I lost my Father to it last year. My thoughts and prayers are with Gary's children and entire family.

Dear Family :embers;
I have only known Gary & Lori only a short period of time through our church here at FBC Richmond Hill. I learned that we both grew up in Middle, GA not far from each other. Through this limited time, I came to know a man strong in his faith that loved his family and Our Lord. We will miss him but know that he left a mark on many hearts even those like me that only knew him toward the end of his earthly life. He had a positive testimony even till the last time I saw him. May God bless and keep you through this time. Uur prayers will continue for you all.
In His Love,

To Bill,Faye,Mike and Family,
Our families grew up together in the Macon Motor Boat Club. I've known Mr Newsome, Ms Faye and Mike for a long time but haven't seen them in years. I have been on motorcycle trips recently with Mr Newsome and his new wife. Gary was so much fun when we grew up in the boat club. Our families, as well as alot of other families in the boat club were very close, however, time has separated us. My heart and love go out to all of you. Much love, Teresa Sibley (daughter of Frank and Martha Smith)

Dear Laurie and children,
Gary was a man of strong faith, character and integrity. He held firmly to his Christian convictions and is now with the Lord. Gary's gentle spirit touched many of us and his testimony for Christ was extraordinary. I will miss him, may God comfort all of you at this time, lean on HIM and HE will provide what is needed.
