Dear Deborah and Family,
Please accept our condolences for your loss. I have cherished memories or our time together as we were all growing up on Rogers St in Lamar. It was a great time for us. I think of you all often and am so shocked and saddened by the passing of Garris. He was a wonderful, kind person and it saddens me that I was unable to visit Lamar more often over the past few years. Time takes a toll on all of us but each time we lose a friend we lose part of ourselves and all we can do is to remember how good we had it as we were growing up. I have thought of Garris often, particularly when I was working on my car and remembering how many times he helped me out over the years. I know this is a difficult time for you all and I pray that God will help ease your pain with all the wonderful memories and family that surround you.
Love,
Larry and Gloria Freeman, Indiana, PA
