Ben and Angie,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. Although I did not know him, I am sure he was a good person since he raised such a fine son. We will keep you and your family in our prayers as you go through these tough times.

Dear Miss Ann and Ben my very, very dear friend. I am so disheartened to hear of the passing of Mr Billie Joe. The many weekends I spent at your home with Ben throughout my high school years will forever live in my heart as a time of love and friendship that you all showed me. I regret that I didn't hear about this until after the services, because there isn't anything that would have stood in my way from being there by your sides. Please know that you all have a special place in my heart forever and that if there is anything that I can ever do for you, please, PLEASE, don't hesitate to get in touch with me!
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May you find peace, love and comfort in Christ at this time my dear friends!

With all my Love,

Michael Gary, Sr.

Dear Aunt Ann:

I will never forget the time Uncle Billy Joe loaned me his blue pick-up so that I could bring my three wheeler to the camp. He got up at 4:45 to help me load it. On that hunting trip I killed my first deer. He touched the lives of many people and I am sure more than we will ever know. I will miss him.
Love,
