Dear Louise,
I am so sorry about Gary. He was such a fun loving guy. He always enjoyed a party and seemed so upbeat all of the time, even when fighting his illness.
I think he would have enjoyed his eulogies, George's was heartfelt and amusing. Charles' was so touching. Your boys are so handsome and they have always been so nice, you must be very proud of them.
I really feel for you with the loss of Gary and your Mother. You are such a caring person, loved by many.
Love,
~ Kay

Dear Louise,
Mark joins me in this message of deepest sympathy. We are headed to north Georgia tomorrow and so we will not be able to attend Gary's service. I know it will be a lovely tribute and will be praying for everyone traveling here to be with you. In some small way I hope it is a comfort to know others care very much and share your sorrow.
I can't help thinking about your family at the Mystery Ball and also at your 70th birthday party - the good times. I hope you will be able to rest some and focus on your many good memories. Peace +++
With love,
~ Mark and Libby

Dearest Louise,
Please forgive me for taking so long to finally put down in written words my deepest and heartfelt feelings of sorrow from the loss of Gary and sympathy for you. My heart ached at sharing your pain because you are so very special to me.
Frank and I truly miss Gary- his humor and genuine honesty, his interest in others, and willingness to help whenever he saw it was needed - someone you could always count on. We've always admired his dedication to family and you as well.
We are indeed most blessed to have had him as our friend and for all the wonderful memories we have of the great times we shared over the years. I know that if Frank had not still been working, he would have wanted to spend more time with Gary.
And now I still thank God for having brought you into and for keeping you in my life. I pray that our friendship will always remain special and strong and that we will always be there for each other.
Still praying for God to comfort you and keep you strong through this most difficult time.
Much Love,
Anne and Frank

Dear Aunt Louise, Charles and William,
I know it has been a difficult year with the passing of your mother and grandmother and now your beloved husband and father. You have our condolences and were saddened by you loss.
Although it has been far too long since we have had to the opportunity to visit, I was very fortunate to have visited with Aunt Weezie about eighteen months ago. She was great to rekindle fond memories of my grandmother. However, her true joy and delight was in the stories she recounted of you. Her love was radiant.
You will remain in our prayers during this difficult time. Hopefully, the Christmas spirit will ease your grief.
With deepest sympathy,
~ Peyton

Dear Louise,
Candy and I want to offer our condolences to you for Gary's death. He was very brave in his struggle with cancer, and always appeared to live a full life even while fighting the disease.
You were together a very long time, and I hope you are comforted by many joyful memories of your life together. I pray that you will also face the future with the anticipation that one day you and Gary will be joined together for eternity. Until then, the love of children and grandchildren can be a reflection of the love you received from Gary.
With sincere sadness for your loss,
