Where do I begin. Sandie and Guy were two of the nicest and best friends I have ever had. Their love story was a thing of beauty and Sandie told Guy if anything were to happen to her she wanted him to keep living and enjoy life. Sadly, Sandie passed away and though his heart was broken, he honored her memory and went about living his life. Guy always kept his promises and that was at his very core. His faith and his integrity were at the center of his being. Guy lived his life to the fullest and anyone lucky enough to know him will never forget him. He and Sandie raised two wonderful children, Jennifer and Greg, who will carry on their values proudly. Guy met every challenge head on and never gave up. He fought with everything he had right up until the end. Mercifully, God decided he had fought enough and it was time to rest. My heart hurts añd I will never forget him but I am comforted that he is with his beloved Sandie and no longer in pain. Rest in peace my friend. Love and miss you.
