Native Americans say" how can he truly be gone when he still walks in our hearts?" Gary still walks in many hearts and will as long as we live. He'll remain just a thought away.

You have to believe in happiness
Or happiness never comes
I know that a bird chirps
None the less
When all that he finds is crumbs

You have to believe the buds will grow
Believe in the grass in the time of snow
Ah! There's the reason a bird can sing
On the darkest day he believes in spring!

You have to believe in happiness,
It isn't an outward thing.
The spring never makes the song, I guess, as much as the song the spring.

Aye, many a heart could find content
If it saw the joy on the road it went.
The joy ahead when it had to grieve
For the joy is there- but you have to believe.

We wish you the peace you need now and that you'll find much to be grateful for.

Karen, Crystal, Kaci, Kelli and families,
Our hearts grieve for your earthly loss of Gary. He made us feel like old friends from the very first time we met him and Karen. Gary was genuine as a Christian and cared deeply for his wife and daughters. We find comfort in the fact of knowing that Gary believed in Jesus and that we all too, will be reunited again. We will be there when you need us! We love you. Rest In Peace Gary. There is no more pain for you to endure.
