To Steve and family, Gary was a great friend and he will be missed.
"Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow."
You're in my prayers through this difficult time.

YOU ALL KNOW THAT I LOVED GARY VERY MUCH, HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND FOR SO MANY YEARS NOW. I FEEL LOST KNOWING THAT I CAN NO LONGER STOP BY THE HOUSE AFTER WORK TO VISIT WITH HIM AND POP AND LYNN. I AM SO SAD THAT HE IS GONE, BUT I KNOW THAT HE IS WHOLE,HAPPY, AND HEALED WAITING FOR ME IN HEAVEN AND HE ISN'T SAD ANYMORE. I WILL MISS THOSE SPARKLING BLUE EYES, AND THAT CROOKED NOSE AND SMILE, AND HEARING HIM TELL ME "I LOVE YOU TOO ARNIE". I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AS A FAMILY.

Dear Family,
I love each of you very much in your own special way and you know that. Though the years have gone between us the bond has never left and Gary still vistits in my dreams every once in a while. When he is ready I know I will see him again healthy and happy to tell me all about it.
Our history together goes way back and the memories will be with forever, I was made aware from family what had happened. My love is with you all.
Gary was a deeply spiritual being who struggled here in eartly form but now that is all behind, he is free to be his limitless soul being with creation.
All my Love to Phillip and Ellen, Steve and Vicki, and the Children during their time of sorrow.
So much love,
Renee Dasher(Wilson-Nichols)
