"Gary and family, Sue and I will always remember the times that your Mom visited us in Elba while you were helping me wiring my garage and other visits you made. It was always neat talking with her. Gary, you are a very special person. Your Mom was so fortunate to have you caring for her. We have said many prayers for you and your family. Sue and Bill Macey"
