Sandy & Family- Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends and family for strength, and always remember how much you are loved.
My deepest condolences Sandy and family! Gary have a cold beer waiting for me! ? Sure gonna miss ya!!
Knowing you Sandy, through my sister, and having the opportunity to meet Gary, gave me the privilege of praying for you through such difficult trials. Seeing God work miracles for you both has been such a blessing and a faith-builder for me. Then you saw one of the greatest miracles when Gary's Heavenly Father called him home and he was transported into the presence of Jesus! Through it all…God has shown you His tender loving kindness and now He will comfort you. You will be closer to Him than ever before! Lovingly, Lisa Allen
