To the family my prayers are with you through this tough time in your lives. Gator, has influence many children during his time here on earth. He will be deeply and sadly miss but GREAT remembered. Just know that God makes NO mistake.
I will live you with this thought:
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. GOD BLESS!

It is hard to believe that our beloved "Gator" will no longer be with us. He was truly a wonderful person. St. Mark will be lost without him. He was a good friend to us all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
