I was in complete shock when I picked up the paper tonight and saw Gary in the notices. I wish I would have seen it earlier, I sure would have come to the wake. I'm really sorry about your brother. I see you are the only survivor. It's been many years but I would really like to meet up with one day and talk. Please give me a call when you can.

My Brother,
I look at your obit and it doesn't seem real,
Don't know when or how I will heal.
So shocked to hear the news of your sudden death,
So devastating, I nearly lost my breath.
I could have done something, had I known,
Instead you braved the pain on your own.
So many things I never got to say,
But I never imagined you would ever go far away.
And now I have to let you rest,
Although without you my world's a mess.
I wish we never had to part, I will miss you dearly with all of my heart.
Cindy

So sorry for your loss he was a friend to me and I will miss him. I was just trying to get in touch with him, he was on my mind. I will miss you calling me Reid and that laugh that made us all laugh with you. I will remember all the life advice you gave and how you encouraged me to do better and expect better for myself. I am sad you are gone but I am happy I was able to get to know you as long as I did. Rest in peace GARY!!!
