    Dear Dall, Karla and Family,
    I was very sad to hear about Gary's passing. I use to care for him at the group home. His smile would light up the room and his teasing always made my day. Gary was always talking about his sister and the visits he loved to go on. I know he is in heaven with his mom and I can just see her kissing him up.
    He was definitely a person who touch all our hearts.
