The past month has been a blur. We have all been hurting so much and we are missing Gary terribly. It's hard to believe he is gone, and yet life continues around us like normal! Iwould like to thank everybody that attended the visitation and the funeral. Everybody who knew Gary can agree that the service was very fitting. The entire service was arranged by my wonderful friends Paige and Sonja who left their families up north (DC and NYC) and flew to be by my side, and Kimberly who in turn used her amazing skills and set of friends to pull the entire event off. I am so grateful for all their help and their friendships. Our friend Jonathan, (old swimmer from Athens, now Father Jonathan) officiated and created a very nice service which included some special moments he had shared with Gary. Our friend Heather who also sang at our wedding were able to sing her heart out, it was magical! Three very special people in Gary's life (Sharon-sister, Tim-friend from UK, and Jim-boss/mentor) had some great things to say about Gary and I do appreaciate all the kind words and good memories. My sister-in law Jenny was so kind and took photos of the funeral and the event at our house and I'm so glad because I hardly remember anything of it. Booze, pills and crying will do that to you..!
Thanks once again for all your support and friendship during this difficult time. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated and I am forever grateful for everybodys kind words and love.
