Marsha,
Michael and I are so very sorry to hear of Gary's passing! Our hearts are breaking for you and your family. We think the world of you and Gary and cherish the friendship we shared. Your and Gary's willingness to lead our Small Group was such a blessing to us. The leadership, guidance, support, and love the two of you provided has had a lasting affect. Gary was a true example of a Christian man and definitely left this world a better place by his example. He will be missed immensely by all who knew him! Please know you and your family will remain in our hearts and prayers as you begin this journey without Gary's earthly presence. I take comfort in knowing Gary is in the presence of God, at peace, worshiping at the feet of Jesus and knowing we will see him again.
Hugs and much love,
Kim and Michael Palmer
