  4. I love you daddy💙. I miss you so very much. I know granny and papaw are beyond excited to see you. Your body is healed, your mind is back, you’re no longer a prisoner in your own head any longer. Now go eat some birthday cake and stroll those streets of gold. I once was your angel and now your mine. I love you daddy.

  5. Dear Misty and Kimberly,
    My name is Susan. I’m sure you’d only remember me as being Nicole’s mom. Gary was our neighbor on Davenport Road. He was the best neighbor, and one of the kindest man I’ve ever known. Nicole and I thought of, and spoke with him, and Little Miss Daisy often. I truly thought the world of him. I know how much he loved you girls. And I know you’ll be missed terribly.
    My heartfelt condolences.
