Kym, your mom and your dad were some of the best friends we could of ever had. Gary of course was Dicks hunting partner for many many years and then your mom became a good friend to me. Your mom missed Gary so much but she hung right in there thanks to you and your family. Her heart was always heavy so now she can be happy again with the love of her life Gary and son Chris. We will miss her but I know she is happy now. Love you so much Kym and family and thank you for being the daughter you were to her.
