Margie, I know there are no words that will make you feel Garry's death any less painful, just remember that all the memories will be with you forever. Maybe as time goes by the memories will be on your mind more than this recent heartbreaking memory you are going through right now. I have my own memories of Garry from the time he was a little boy in Andrews to the man he grew to be. You can be proud of your son, he was intelligent, funny, and devoted to his family, and I know he was a proud grandpa. Hold on to the good memories and let them be there to give you a laugh now and then. I am your sister, aunt to your children, and always here for you. I love you Wanda
