Ron and the rest of the Wolfe family,
I was very sad to hear of Gary's passing. I didn't know him for very long, but he was always very kind and knew how to bring a smile to my face.
I wish I could have been there to attend the services. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless You All,
Josie

Aunt Darlene & Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Gary's death. I will be praying for you to have the strength to get through this difficult time. As a mother, we never ever want to see our children this way, but on the other hand, we know that he is in a good place and at peace.
I would love to come down to the visitation and the funeral, however I'm having health issues and am scheduled for surgery on Sept 9th. I have a large tumor and several small ones that are not cancerous that are inside my uterus. The doctor has requested that I not ride in the car except to and from work. As I said before, I will have you in my prayers.
After my surgery and during my healing time, I will give you a call, Aunt Darlene, and we can talk then. In the meantime, know that I'm thinking of you.
Love,
Sherry
