    Jessica, My heart hurts for you and your family . I knew Gary as a child and teenager and what a gentle soul he was. I am sure he is with your grandma and grandpa. The demons that chased him are gone and he will rest in peace.

    Dear Jessica, Eric, and Kris,

    I’m so very sorry for your loss of a wonderful Father and Grandfather. Kris I’m sure you mourn, too.

    I’m thinking of you all today and I know the heartbreak of how the loss of a Father stays with you forever. Nothing is the same.

    Kris, the death of an ex is with you also and I’m sure it brings many memories back.

    God bless you all.
    Aunt Edie (Beard, sister to Eugene) and Uncle Louie Waterman
    Sincerely,
    Terry Waterman Donna
