Not sure what to say?

Gary and I were best friends, and talked and shared many memories. He was a man of God, and feel sure he is walking the streets of Gold. My deepest sympathy to all of his family and friends. He will surely be missed but God took him for a reason and he crossed many paths for a reason.

Dearest Mrs.Johnson, Pat and Bobbie and extended family. Gary and I had a wonderful relationship for many years. I loved him and he loved me. He will sadly be missed. I will always remember his smile and the twinkle in his eyes. I will always remember him studying his Bible and his lessons, the special prayers we had together for our families. He was definitely a Jewel. God Bless Each one! Wanda

Dear Family,
So sorry for your loss, I have known Gary for many years, as a friend and as a co-worker. He will be greatly missed and I will think of him often. He is home with His Lord now and walking the streets of pure gold. No more pain and no more sorrow.

Gary was best friends with my dad in high school and I heard many stories about their adventures. One thing I will always remember about Gary is he always smiled when I saw him and was glad to see me. He will not be forgotten.

PAT, BOBBIE Just wanted to say God bless and I am very glad to have known and worked with your Dad. He was a good man, hardheaded but a good man all the same. Terry Rice
