Gary,

It's been one year today that you went away. God called you home. We love and miss you so much! You would be so very proud of Diane and the girls. They have come a long way in this very short year! Yes, they each have their memories of you and with you, just as we all have. Your Mom and Sisters are hanging in there, although there is a huge void in their hearts. I know how hard it has been on all that knew and loved you. I hope you are looking down on all of us with that big cockeyed grin of yours and saying, "carry on" and "well done". We will see you again one day in our Heavenly Home and I'll bring the coke! Love and Miss You Always, Your Aunt Tabbie

Mike and I miss your phone calls from time to time! We love and miss you so much! We are all trying to hang in there through these "firsts" without you! It's so hard, but we take comfort in the memories that we have stored in our hearts of you and with you! Rest high on that mountain during this holiday season. Look down on us and smile with us! Lots of Life, Love, and Laughter Always, Your Aunt Tabbie

Our hearts ache with the news that we received in the wee hours of Saturday morning. It is such a shock. Gary was a great son, brother, husband, father and friend to all. He literally had a "big heart" and such a personality to go with it. I know how hard it is now and how very hard it will be in the coming days ahead. Take comfort that he is no longer in pain and did not suffer. Cherish all the memories you have of Gary and with Gary in your hearts forever. Hold on to one another for strength and courage. Sometimes you have to take things in stride in seconds instead of hours, days and months. If that is what it takes to get through, seize that moment. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now during this most difficult time, and in the coming days ahead. Love one another unconditionally and forever! Always remember that Life is too short, as you well know. Be good to one another and if there is anything at all that we can do, please do not hesitate to call us 24/7. All our Love and Prayers, Mike and Tabbie Jenkins

Spent alot of time with Gary growing up,in the military and in the golf car business. After leaving SC we grew apart and had not seen each other in a long time. I was shocked to hear about his passing! Rest in peace my little buddy!!!
