My thoughts and love go out to Gary's family immediate and extended. May your hearts be filled with good memories to help you through this difficult time. My memories are of family gatherings - all of us kids from six families, crowded into houses and basements celebrating Christmas, laughing and eating delicious baking our mothers created with love and flour! Its been many years since we were all together and the memories are strong. - Posted by: Corinne Sandhurst (cousin) on: Feb 02, 2014
