Dear Myra and family, We are so very saddened by Gary's home-going. The bright spot is his faith and the resulting eternal life. The service was absolutely beautiful; Karen did a supreme job with the eulogy and I'm sure her dad was enjoying from his box seat at the Rockies...they even won, just for Gary! Our paths have not crossed in a few years but we hold the fond memories of fun we've had in the past close to our hearts. Our prayers for peace and healing in the days to come are yours.
Most sincerely, Mark and Lynn Swan

I'm praying for you guys. Such a genuinely nice man-heaven is blessed, but I know we're all still sad.

Beautiful Myra, I didn't have much time to talk to you today but I want you to know how much both you and Gary mean to me. I remember, so well, the time I spent with you and Gary and Kimberly in Santa Anna CA. It was a special time in my life. I will never forget Linda's birthday "garbage disposal" episode!!! Love you so much! Becky

To this place, each soul comes
When the dance of life is done.
Songs we knew, no longer sung,
A still, small voice, calls us home.

In the dim of graying day,
When final hours slip away,
Jesus be my hope and stay,
My song, my dance of endless praise.

When I stand before the Jordan
Where the cold, dark waters roll.
Be the hand that parts the river.
Be the friend who walks me home.

In this land where once I roamed
Friends and strangers, both I've known.
May the things I've said and done
Be a light that points them home.
