Dearest Linda, Marty, Denise and family, We are thinking of you and are holding you in our hearts during this truly difficult time. Mike and I were so fortunate and thankful to have seen Gary in the fall where he was his usual jovial self. I will miss my quiet sweethearted uncle.
Linda and Family Memories go back to family reunions and picnics in Springbank many years ago. Despite the fact you and I said "hi" riding the Springbank bus together for many years - and living around the corner for many, we never got together - certainly a regret. Last time really talked to Garry was at the Funeral Home - and if memory serves, he was looking after one of the grandchildren. Wish you all the best - and please pass this on to Maxalea also. Bill and Jean Ann (We will be out of the country - leaving Wed -
Dear Gar So glad I got to say goodbye, and am so glad that you are no longer in pain although we will all miss you so very much - no more fresh made bread first thing in the morning no more home-made pickles or jam so many, many reasons we will all miss you R.I.P. Gar you have sure earned it. Love, Lanie & Family
