"To the family of Mr. Gary Way My deepest sympathy to all of the family. There are no words to say how much he will be missed. I met Gary out at Merrick Manor and really enjoyed the smiles he always brought to my mother when he would tease her and I thank you Gary for bringing those smiles to my mother. I had the opportunity of taking care of Gary when he was in the hospital and I really liked to get him to smile. Take care of yourself Hazel and it was an honor to know you, as well. janice pascoe"

"Ron, Linda and Family, I'm so sorry to hear of the death of your dad. He was a fine man and he loved his family very much. Words cannot express the pain that is felt over his loss. You have my deepest condolences. Please know that although he is not with us right now, it is not over. When I lost someone dear to me, I was told of a precious hope found in God's Word. The man Job in (Job 14:14) asked" If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?" With heartfelt compassion, Jesus answered in (John 5:28,29)-" Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life". Imagine a resurrection or a bringing back to life. And right here on earth.--(Ps.37:29)-"The righteous themselves will posses the earth. And they will reside forever upon it". Jesus (John 5:28) was relaying a promise from his heavenly Father-Jehovah-(Ps.83:18) who at (Titus 1:2) says is a "God who can not lie". I pray that you will be able to draw comfort from this scriptural promise as I did. Thoughts of love and peace are with you."

"Gary was a charasmatic and amazing man. I am proud to have known such a man. I am so very glad that Gary got to meet Hazel too.Thank you so much for letting the staff and me at Merrick become part of the family. I will never forget Gary. It devastates me to know that he is gone to the arms of the Lord but I find strength in the fact that I will meet him again one day. God has a plan for us all. Sometimes we don't understand but it will be explained when we meet him. God Bless you all, Sara"
