I am Gary’s cousin on his mother’s side, his mother and mine were sisters. I was so shocked to hear of Gary’s death. I had just seen him at another family member’s viewing, his cousin and my brother, Paul Simmons. Tera, please know that you will be in my prayers and thoughts. You have my deepest sympathy.

Tera, I was so sorry to hear of Gary’s death. I will always remember him and his dad staying with my family when he was a little boy while his sister was in the hospital. He was a great guy. His cousin, Carol Taylor
