We have so many wonderful memories with Gary and Kathy. As a teacher at Blessed Sacrament, the awesome team Price took care of me in so many ways. As time went by, my husband became friends with Gary, and helped with several volunteer activities. Our entire family enjoyed St. Patrick's Day Fried Chicken, potato salad, and a beer with both Gary and Kathy each year for several years. It has been so much fun to share grandparent stories! Kathy, our prayers, hugs, and love are with you, and the family as you walk through this time. We are only in Virginia, and will be back to Savannah to see you soon. We love you, Kathy, and Gary will live on in our hearts forever. Love, Denise and Bill PS I bet he's got those angels just a giggling!

Kathy, Donovan, Gary and Elisabeth, We are so deeply saddened over the loss of our dear friend, Gary. He was always so full of love and life and made every St. Patrick's Day a great time for family and fun. His sense of humor and love for his family and friends was overwhelming. He was what enjoying life was all about. We will miss him terribly and may it be of some comfort to know that our Robbie was there to welcome Gary into Heaven. Please know that we are praying for all of you as you go through these difficult days. God bless,
