We all have warm thoughts & treasured moments with Gary. My prayers are with the family. God Bless you during this time of grief.
I did not know Gary well, but I worked with his mother, Bobbie. I remember Gary bought her an absolutely beautiful designer dress….cannot remember the occasion it was for, but Bobbie loved
it! A beautiful dress for a beautiful woman from a loving son. I am sure there is a gloriously happy
reunion with Bobbie and Jack welcoming their beloved son, Gary. May God be with the surviving
family until all are reunited!
Sincere condolences for your loss. May God comfort you during this difficult time.
To the family, please take comfort in the word of God”s Son found at “John 5:28,29″.
My condolences go to the Hughes family. Its never easy to lose a loved one. However, we can take comfort in knowing that soon God will end all suffering, including death. He also extends to all the hope of being able to see our loved ones again here on earth. As we look to the future with hope, may the many memories strengthen you in all the days to come.-Revelation 21:4, Acts 24:15, Isaiah 25:8
