Dear Shahn,
We’ll never forget Gary, his ready smile and friendly ways! One of our special family memories is of the wonderful photos that he took during the celebration of my parents’ 50th Wedding Anniversary – I have a collage of those photos on my wall and treasure it.
You and Gary were always so kind and interested in our children and they remember you both with affection. I know that Laura and Jimmy were pleased to be your neighbors and beginning new family memories with you up the street.
Our prayers are with you and our hearts ache with yours.
