To the family of Gary G. Baker Sr:

May your family be consoled in your time of distress. Peace isn't easy to gain in these times when dealing with our feelings. With critical times hard to deal with in front of us, we might not be sure that our father of tender mercies has our feelings in mind. May we be willing to look to him and lean on his guidance under trial. May peace be with you my friends.

January 31, 2019

To family you are not alone during this time of
sorrow and pain . May God give your family strength and comfort to help you endure this loss. As you remember your beloved one, the God of peace give you comfort and peace in every way. May you find Strength from the love and care that surrounds you and comfort in the memories that you shared. Please accept my sincere condolences
