My Regards
His sudden loss has certainly reminded me that we can never truly prepare for the loss of a loved one and that life is so precious and fragile. I will always remember the good moments Gary brought into my life. I can still hear his laughter and still see him smiling in the back of my mind.
I believe he is in a better place now and that he's watching over. My heart goes out to Gary's family & friends. Please know that my thoughts & prayers are with you.
I will miss you dear friend.
My Regards,
