My husband Gary was a kind gentle loving man. He was a husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He loved Jesus and could not wait one day to meet him. He got that introduction April 1st 2022 when he lost his life to a brain aneurysm at 48 years old. Gary was a giver and he loved so deep. He had the biggest heart and he gave his kidneys to a gentleman and a lady and as far as I know it saved their lives.
This journey has been a long and hard. I have a frustrating sense of loss and emptiness that I've never felt before. It has taken my life and flipped it upside down and it's now 100% different but I know he's with the Lord. I know more than anything that's where he would have chosen to be if he had only one choice, but we miss him so bad and I can't wait to see him again.
I wish the folks well that received his organs and I hope they live a long and happy life.
