Gary was a joy to be around. My first knowing him was a little boy staying close to his mom and looking me over. She became my Godmother and from that day on all the Thomas children became my little sister’s and brother’s. I love all of you and share the loss of a very talented and beautiful soul. He’s happy now with the lord. To the family love each other alway end with I love you.
