We are so sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed visiting with your mom and dad when we would come down to camp and they always made us laugh. I know she will be missed dearly. Love to all the family and will keep you all in our prayers.

Thoughts and prayers for the loss of such a wonderful family lady. We first met Mr.& Mrs. Gary when they drove from Texas to Wright Patterson,A.F.B. in a pickup with a custom built by Mr. Gary, camper-topper..Their trip was to see Rhonda and Eric. That was some well built accommodations! Mrs. Gary (Maw Maw ) was such a sweet lady and I loved her laugh. It was nice to see them again after so many years at Tasha's wedding reception in Tulsa. I think that truck and camper-topper made it all those years later. Love and prayers The Nebraska Shoops.
