Mr. Gaymon, Knowing you has changed my life, I now know there are truly kind, gentle people all the way down to their soul. You were a living breathing example of that and you will be missed more than I can ever say. Thank you for making my life richer just by knowing you, and better, with more meaning by having you as a friend. You're one of those people whose memory, mention of your name will bring a smile, a good feeling in the heart and a shake of the head with a comment "damn, I miss him, he was a good guy". Again, thank you Mr. Gaymon for giving me hope.
Peace,
Pam
