Denise and Kelsey,
I can't begin to know how you feel, but I am with you all the way. I love you both, and if a parent's legacy is their child, Gary (and you, Denise), have a lot to be proud of. I am so fortunate to have known Gary, and blessed to be able to call Denise my friend...for 27 years!!!
Peace to you and may you always enjoy those precious memories of all the great years you shared.
Love,
Dale

Denise, I am so sorry for your loss. Ken Teeter is a friend of mine and called me this evening/ Gary was dynamite in a bundle. I know that Ken is having a very difficult time as I am sure you and your daughter are. I lost my 5 year old granddaughter 20 months ago, Trust me, the pain never goes away.Please give your daughter a hug for me as this is difficult for her as you. Anything I can do ask Ken, he knows how to reach me. Kay Ades

Denise,
You don't give yourself nearly enough credit, for you were incredibly strong and brave after all that went on the Wednesday morning of Holy Week! Who among us could have presented such a graceful presence as you proceeded to acknowledge sympathies extended, while comforting others around you who were also stunned at Gary's sudden passing.
I know you said that Gary was YOUR rock, the one who always calmed you down, but you must have been paying close attention those 28 years, since you have managed to handle all the tasks at hand for the past week without coming unglued.
When you spoke at both your mother's and Gary's funerals, you did so with such apparent ease and eloquence. (guess Kelsey took her cue) I am certain you were feeling anything but relaxed and yet you managed to create just the right mood, in relaying anecdotes humorously and candidly about special times you two shared!
We are just a rickety fence away if you need ANYTHING. There are plenty of men in residence (calm & cool, big, strong, and one "in training") who will do your bidding, so please don't be shy. Our front porch light is almost always on to guide your path safely to our door.
No one could ever take Gary's place and we are all the better for having known him and having his friendship. But you do have many friends who will be waiting in the wings to help you and Kelsey on your journey forward. God bless you both, especially during this sad time.

Kelsey,
You have grown up before our eyes and it's hard to believe time has passed all too quickly since the Tiny Tots Pre-School days when you and Michael first realized we were also neighbors.
Denise and Gary were the proudest of parents and we could rely on getting caught up on how you were doing during our adventures to Keeneland or Churchill Downs, the St. Albert Trivia Night, or at the annual Derby and Christmas parties. Although we chatted with your father as we came and went (numerous times per day it seemed!) and traded e-mails with your mother throughout the year, it was a tradition to spend some of our times together catching up on the latest escapades of our college kiddos...
Despite this sudden and terrible loss of your doting Dad, you were so gracious to all who arrived at the funeral home visitation. Your tribute to your father was quite moving to all in attendance and I know he heard every word and was so proud of how eloquent you have become. You and your parents will remain in our prayers.
We will truly miss Gary's insightful contributions to our Games Nights but he will always remain a happy memory in our minds and hearts. May your memories of so many good times bring you peace and comfort!
Mrs. D

My family has lived next door to the Websters for a long time...at least since the oldest of my three brothers (Michael) and Kelsey were in daycare, I believe. Over the years, our parents have become good friends. I could always count on, at the very least, a friendly smile and wave from Gary anytime I came to visit my mom.
Denise and Kelsey, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. Just remember that you have a lot of friends and family who love you very much!

There is not enough words to express your loss. He was a pleasure to work with. I know he will look after both of you and will be your guardian angel. Even though he will be missed more than words can say. Bless your family.

Denise, I have thought of you and Kelsey often in the past few days and know you both have lost a wonder partner, father and person. You have been in my silent prayers. May God bless you in this time of sadness and sorrow. I know Gary would have wanted this condolence to end with...GO CARDS!

Kels, Mrs. Webster, I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was so great! I loved being in the car with him taking us to the mall, mixers, and all the places we went. He was a trooper for putting up with us! Know that I am always here for both of you guys, anything you need I am here. I Love you guys!

DENISE & KELSEY,
Words cannot express the loss I feel.
I can't even imagine how or what you are feeling. I just know it has to be devastating. Gary & I worked together rather closely and talked every day about family or just getting older. We had some great conversations and once in awhile some conflicts especially about politics. But I always felt that we were good friends. I will miss him a lot,
and my thought & prayers or with you both.

Words can not express the sympathy that I feel for you both. Gary was one of the greatest people that I have ever met or worked with. I have only worked with him about a year and a half but I feel like I have known him for years. I will never forget our "political" conversations and his love for great music! He will be dearly missed. God Bless you both.

I spoke with Gary often on the phone as a rep. of EB Bradley Co. and I am deeply saddened by this news.
Gary was just a very real, and personable guy. I know he loved his family as we talked at times about the important things - I will miss my friend Gary.
With the warmest regard for Gary and the deepest sympathy for his friends and family, -Kevin

I work with the E.B. Bradley Co. and had many conversations with him as we did business together. As we figure we're related at some point it was always a joy to talk about our similarities and our differences. I will miss this. May God give your family grace during this time and comfort you in your time of sorrow. My family and I will be praying for you.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I work in the Elkhart plant and would speak to Gary numerous times in a day. He would always answer the phone, "HELLLLLLO". It made me laugh. He was a good man and I will miss him.
