We were blessed to have a son-in-law like Gary. A lot of things we don't understand, but God said we had a time appointed and we must keep that appointment.The most important thing is to be ready to go and Gary was. About 8 or 9 months ago Gary and Gina re-dedicated their lives back to the Lord. We were proud that they were part of Garden of My Heart Holy Tabernacle Church.We all must be ready to meet the Lord in order to see him again. Love and prayers. Pastor Ted & Barbara Glassburn

Gina and family: Gary was such a great uncle. He will be missed very much and never forgotten. Sometimes we don't understand why things happen the way they do, but God has a plan. We just have to hold onto God and remember the memories that we have to cherish of Gary. God will bring you through this and everything will be ok. Gina, by what you told me the other day in mom's car, I'm sure he is safe and happy with Jesus. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything, we are here for you. Don't hesitate to call. Love you all so much. God bless.

This is cindy, garys sister in law, Sometimes we dont understand why things have to turn out like they do, but, I have really grown close to gary since helping with the auction, We had such good times, and through the years he has been a special brother in law that would do things for the family and make sure everyone was involved, I can honestly say that my sister was a very lucky woman to have the love from gary that she did, They never missed having a date night in 17 years, Every friday, They shared a love that we wished we all could have, He loved his babies, and always took time to do things with them, I am so thankful that gary got his heart right with god, and now hes in a better place than we are. Our hearts are broken and we will never forget you gary, You was a good husband to my sister and a great daddy to all the kids, even aaron and jeremy. And you always was there for your mommy. I will miss you and I will never forget you, One day we will meet you in heaven, God be with us all right now. And Bless Our Family!! Love you Gary!! Your sister in law, cindy and nephew caleb

Dear Gina and all,
Speaking from high school experience, Gary was quite the character. And so much fun to be around.
People could see how devoted he was to you and the kids. I pray that the memories you shared with
him will comfort you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My dear Gina and "Lib", My thoughts and prayers are surely with you-all. Gina, I was over there about a week ago to borrow a "dolly" to help us clean out Dad's house, You were so sweet. You both know that Mary Marie just loved you. She loved to brag on you when something happened. She was so proud of Gary especially when he married that "little tiny young lady".We are leaving for Fla. tomorrow. Our love being sent to you ALL! Sandra and Noel Heister
