Dear Family,
ReplyDeleteI 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,
