I miss you so much and I love you.##imported-begin##carlee##imported-end##
Yes Gary,
it seems like yesterday that you was standing here in my front room and now its like a night mare that you are really gone. I know that you are happier in that better place because you use to always say " I am through Shirley" there's not much to live for. And yes Gary there is alot more to live for: you still had your son Michael and daughter Christina, grandchildren Carlee, Devyn, and Kelsey Stargel. They all miss you so much.
When your son Joseph passed away April 22, 01 , life became so hard for and you. You would spend so much time trying to find out "Why Joe". I would always say "Gary you are not going to find the truth what really happen to our son Joe." It was vey hard for you to find happness with your other family and family members you had which still loved you deeply.
Yes we had or difference but we also had some very happy years while we was married.
Gary you will be missed and is deeply loved by all of us.##imported-begin##Shirley Tierce Smith##imported-end##
We attended the service on Saturday and just wanted to share our feelings on how we were touched by the many family and friends that were there to support each other and honor the memory of Gary. We all have our own special memories of him and a favorite time we spent together. We are fortunate to have known Gary and consider him a great friend. He will always be in our thoughts and our memories of Gary will never fade. Sincerely, Orin and Carol##imported-begin##Orin and Carol##imported-end##
Things were tough to say at the funeral services. But here us a poem i found to say it all.
Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.##imported-begin##Mike Tierce##imported-end##

Gary,was my best friend when we were kids growing up. When he moved to Washington. We lost track of each other for a while. But somehow later in life, we found each other again. We were not close but he knew deep down, we were always best friends. Gary will always be in my thoughts and memories for ever.##imported-begin##Bill Helms##imported-end##
