Gail,

I was so sorry to read of Gary's passing - though I did not know him, I know he must have been dear to you. May God the Holy Spirit comfort you.

I will always remember Gary saying " There she is " as I would enter the building to walk the dog. And Gary's reply when ever I asked "How are you" His reply was "Older and grumpier". Which he never was. He will always be missed.

Much love
