I remember Gary not just as Gary but MY GARY. Whenever i thought my mom was being unfair i went straight to him and told him all about it. He would blame my mom for everything if i wanted him to. Even if she wasn't around to do it.I am sad to see him go but i am happy that he's not in pain. To Jessi, Roger, and Debbi i love you guys, and i am sorry for your loss.
Love Alwayz,
Yalls Amber
