Lisa, Madi and Brit, my heart goes out to you at this time of loss. Gary was such a kind, supportive and loving friend to me through all our years as friends, co-workers and roommates. I will miss his humor, his laughter and his wonderful gifts of communicating with people. My prayers go with you and your families throughout the days to come. We know we will be reunited with him one day. God bless you and keep you.
