Donna,
We were very sorry to hear about the passing of Gary. There are really no words to express the sadness in our hearts. We worked together a lot of years, and had a lot of good times and laughs. He was a good-hearted man.
Always remember that you will be in our hearts and prayers forever.
With Much Love,
