Janet…. Our sincere sympathy to you in your loss. Years ago we visited with Gary at his shop — so knowledgeable, warm and friendly; reminded me of my dad with his hunting/fishing interests. We remember our very warm relationship shared with you at Bethel and wanted to let you know we are thinking about you, your son and family. We will keep you close in thoughts and prayers.
