Gary We grew up together and were like two peas in a pod. You always looked out for me from the time when we were kids all way into adulthood. I will never forget all of the memories that we’ve had over the years time I had the privilege of sharing with you. I love you and will keep you alive in my heart forever.

Gary, words cannot express my sadness in losing you. I am proud and thankful to have been your big sister, you were also keeping others best interest at heart, and were a fine example of what Jesus would do. I’ll keep all the memories of growing up, times at the beach, friday night burritos, in my heart. You were funny, kind, selfless, and strong, hand act to follow and a class one at that. I will always love you bro.
“Until we meet again”
