Gary, you were such a unique individual who sadly had a rough journey here on earth. But nonetheless you were the best big brother growing up- the typical big brother- a big joker- but loved us immensely. You were always so funny and so talented, had the best manners, and deserved so much more love than you received here on earth. You remained incredibly strong this past year and without a doubt, I know, you are with the Lord, for your faith never, ever, wavered. I'm so sorry I was not there for you more, but I am so grateful Melissa was your earthly light in the dark. And you should know that you've humbled us in your passing, and brought us even closer, not just with one another, but closer to God. My heart is hurting and so, I'm leaving this for you: I love you Gary. This is just goodbye for now- until we meet again 🤍 Love Michelle, or as you would say, Chimelle
