Gary, we all miss you and will constantly think of you. We are taking the best care of Kim that we can, but we'll never mend her broken heart. She is doing better but nothing will replace You. We'll keep praying for each other and we love you.
p.s. Let's go Giants

Gary, it's been 3 long years since you're gone but, at times, it feels just like yesterday.
I miss so many things about you, but mostly, I just miss you by my side and hearing your laugh and seeing your smile.
I love you and miss you honey.

So many times I tried to write in this book, and just never seemed to get the words I wanted, since we are coming up on another Anniversary with out you, and the closing of this book,...best to just say what is in my heart. A heart that has a hole, where you used to be.
I miss you, will always, but this is for our loss, God took you to a better place, and for that we should be thankful. When it is quiet, I can hear you laugh, especially when I do something that would normally make you crack up. I always think of all the visits, the fun, the jokes that would remain standing, even after you went home, and all the back and forth from them. The standing Football Bet, that we could never remember the amount on from season to season. You are gone, but will never be forgotten, never would, never could. You will remain with me forever
and for that I have to thank God, as it enriched my life, more than words can say.
Miss You, Love You, and hope to be with you again one day.
Jim

As the book closes, one last word from your brother.
Death is more universal than life;
everyone dies but not everyone lives. ( A. Sachs )
You have been missed everyday since God's finger touched you.
Missing you and the way you lived made everybody
else's life easier and full.
Take care from whatever chair your looking down from.
Love you, Miss you Always
The Giant's did well this year..

It has been too long since I have seen your pretty face and
heard that wonderful laugh of yours.Time goes so fast, but
I am always thinking of you and praying for you.I have candles lit for you day and night. I will always miss you.

FOR MY BIG BROTHER
You showed me a lot of things,
I learned a lot I didn't know,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing
How to let you go,
I know you didn't mean to leave me,
Sometimes we have no choice,
I miss being your sister,
Hearing my name called by your voice,
I wish I got to say "I Love you"
Before you were giving to the sky,
If God could grant me one last wish
I'd ask to say "Goodbye"
You always meant a lot to me,
I could never love you less,
I know it's true when they say
"HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST"
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
Missing and loving you always,
In Monica's backyard with Chris and Kim

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
"Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
There is not a day that goes by that you are not thought of or missed. I hope that you can see how amazing the giants are playing, i wear your shirt with pride. I love you Uncle Gary.
January 19, 2012
Gary,
We miss you and you will always remain in our memories...especially that beautiful smile of yours. You were a very "special friend". God Bless, Jim and Yolie.....PS...Go Giants!

I think of you often and miss you sooooo much. It is still just so hard to believe that you not here with us anymore! Miss your smile, your laugh, and I especially miss you coming home from J. Pauls -LoL LoL LoL
On a lighter note: I wanted to let you know that you would be so proud the Giants this year, they are doing awesome! And thanks to you (I will never forget) I went to my first & only Super Bowl! We had such a pissa at the Super Bowl in Tampa~! And I especially miss you dressing up as the Bud girl and showing up at my house and all of my neighbors thinking you were completly crazy ! Oh and my Dad checking out your legs was a little frightening too! LoL Love and Miss you terribly,

It's Mom just letting you know it is July and very hot outside. You always liked the hot weather. I never did and I am always complaining - that's because I'm getting old. Time is going so fast.
I can't see much or walk good anymore -
I wish I could see your smiling face again! That would make me feel better.
I think of you all the time and miss you. You were my pretty boy. Rest in peace my Son.

It will be the little things
that I will remember,
the quiet moments, the chats,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again to myself
and to the people
who loved you.
You will be missed.
With Loving Memories,
Your Brother

Three weeks ago you were still here making us smile and now you're spending your first birthday in heaven. We love you and miss you and we'll never forget that smile and laugh of yours. God Bless You Gary.
Kim Becker
February 12, 2009
We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And though we can not see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
As you spend your first birthday in heaven know that you are loved and missed more and more each day.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
