Condolences

Condolence From: Rev. Melinda Baber
Condolence: May the new year bring new insights, treasured memories, new hope, and a new appreciation for the friends and family and the faith that sustained Gary in his earthly life. May it offset the sorrow of his loss, and the disorientation and loneliness that the second year of bereavement can bring. God be with you, in all your loving and living.

Condolence: Little did I know that when Gary called me to be his Graduate Asst. over 30 years ago, that I would be so welcomed into his world and Colorado! So many fun memories and laughs that I have reflected on yesterday and today, amidst tears. I was so tickled that he kept and cherished the book I wrote for him so many years ago about our adventures in the valley! An amazing person, an amazing life story. I am extremely honored to have had his influence in my life to carry and share forever. Many prayers and love to Betty and all of the family we were so honored to meet this past summer.
