Glenda and Jack,

I'll never forget all the memories I have of you and Gary, and the way our childhoods were so intertwined. I know the importance your brother had in your lives. Please let me know if I can help in any way; I only wish I could be with you at this sad time.

Joellen,

I'm so glad Gary had the good fortune to meet and marry you. You brought support and enrichment to his life, in both good times and bad. Thank you for the many kindnesses you and Gary showed to Mother. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Love,

Joellen.
Day by day, we live our lives leaving memories. Mine of Gary was that he was the sweetest man who helped me out as we went through cancer. I remember you showing me your "rock" and arm sling-he was so proud of you! He may be gone in this life but he will never be forgotten.

Always remember that God will provide the strength you need each day.
We love you very much.
