My heart is aching and lost beloved baby brother. You were so loved by everyone. Your goofiness, that smile and sense of humor everyone just loved. You had a heart of gold and we all felt the love you gave in return. Although you never had any children they loved you when you were around. The kids loved playing with Uncle Gary. I will truly miss hearing you call me sister girl or Kathryn Virginia as mom did when I was in trouble. That made me laugh. Life will never be the same without you here Gary. I will love and miss you everyday of my life and know that one day in a heavenly realm we will see each other again where there is no more pain or sorrow like this old world has. Abbey ( Little Britches) will be missing you play with her. She loves you so much. Catch some big fish up there sweet brother. Until we meet again. Kat
