Gary was a very special friend who I will miss and NEVER forget every time I have a piece of pie. He also shared his birthday with my wife, so another time we will remember our pie-eating friend. May the peace of Jesus fill the hearts of his family as you all seek it from our Lord. Maranatha!
Terri, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll be thinking of you.
