I am so sorry to read of the passing of your loved one. As you prepare to lay him to rest; to sleep in death for just a little while (John 11:11) I hope your family will find solace in the resurrection promise of Jesus; to awaken those who are now sleeping in death (John 5:28,29) restoring them back to life; this time with the hope to live eternally on the renewed Paradise earth, so that God’s will, will be done on the earth, as it is in Heaven.-Matthew 6:9,10; Luke 23:43. Until that wonderful blessed promise is fulfilled, and you are reunited with your loved one again; may GOD(Psalms 83:18) soothe your grieving hearts now and grant you peace and comfort, during this most grievous time.-Matthew 5:4

Oct. 22, 2021 Gary was my cousin, as his mother Virginia was my father's sister growing up together in Kearney, NE. I happened to search Gary's name on the internet today as my family lost track of Gary many decades ago. I'm sorry I didn't know Gary and his family, as his memorial details his full and successful life. Rest in Peace. K O'Connor
