Uncle Gary,
I love you so much and you will be deeply missed. All the memories we made together as a family will never be forgotten. Hearing you say "hey ChelBell" every time you seen me is something I will never forget, wrestling with you when Justin and I were little is also a constant memory on a loop I have with you. The laughter and joy from hanging out with you will be missed, the pranks and jokes never ended with our whacky family and you had some legendary ones. I know you will be watching over all of us and we will always think of you and the love we have for you.
Love you,
Chelsea (your ChelBell)

Gary and I were first cousins. I have so many memories of growing up and spending time at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. I cherish those memories and will miss Gary greatly. Even though we lived thousands of miles away from one another. It still hurts just as much to lose him even if we were miles from one another. His smile and laughter will always stay with me. Love you Gary Dee!
