"My Beloved Gary Gene
There are two moments I will never forget,
the moment we met and
the moment of your last breath.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it.
And only God can tell me why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you, no-one will ever know.
Always in my heart, I love you , Gary Gene, and that love continues to grow."
Gary was a big fan of NASCAR and the Indy car races. He will be remembered for always holding a calm demeanor and being so easy to talk to.
