Dearest Cindy – as a past widow myself, my heart bleeds for you and along with his children; I pray that you find comfort in our Lord’s promises:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) I know that Gary had a personal relationship with Jesus & is now standing before His Lord… and we all look forward to that day when the Lord removes death from this fallen world:
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Rev. 21:4)
May the Holy Spirit bring you the comfort that passes all understanding (Phil.4:7) as you grieve Gary’s passing.
I will be lifting you all up in prayer…

PS. In case you don’t know me – Gary (‘Wolfie’) was my first love in High School ~ playing this song in his memory:
“Blue, navy blue, I’m as blue as I can be
’cause my steady boy said “Ship ahoy”
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee”

RIP Gary and prayers and strength to every one of your family members. Thank you for giving me two beautiful children by you. I want to also thank your family and extended for being there always, and a big thank you to Cindy Wolf for giving you everything you deserved as a human being. A big loving family, grandkids and the most happy past 18 years that any this man was deserving of. You have always excepted them all as your and never turned anybody away. Gary God needed another angel, and I know you will do in heaven what you did on earth, take care and watch out for everyone else. Love you for being the father of my children. Always have, always will. Love you in my own way, and the world lost a good man to soon

Cindy & family, Our hearts are heavy with the sad news. Gary was always so nice to us whenever we saw him. Always had a smile on his face & a kind word. We enjoyed sharing stories about our mutual grandchildren & joking about the number of grandkids you both have. Please know that the entire family are in our thoughts & prayers. If there is anything we can do, please let us know.
