To Nancy and The long family, My deepest condolences, To lose a brother is devastating to lose 2 is unimaginable! I didnt know about Gary. Until I saw his stone where we laid my younger brother Mark to rest this past August. My older brother and dad just months before that, The pain is real and hard to bear,They say it gets easier as time goes by. Take comfort knowing others do care. Life is so precious and goes by so fast. Take care of yourself and your mom.(hugs)
