Susan and Silas,
Our entire family mourns the loss of "Mr. Gary". He is in our memories all the way back to when our children were born. He was always there at Immanuel, taking care of kids, always having fun with them. I just know that there is a special place in heaven next to Jesus for Gary. We grieve with you, and we give thanks.

Silas, my heart goes out to you and your family. Your dad sounds like he was a wonderful man. I am picturing him reunited with Silas Sr., fishing on a river in heaven. I'm sure this loss will weigh heavily on you all, and I hope this time with each other is healing. Your VA team is here to support you and your family however we can.
With sympathy,
Marci

It’s hard to imagine Susan without Gary. I’m so sorry Susan for your loss! Gary was a silent giant. We will always treasure the memories made from those family Buffalo River camping trips. It was a William’s thing just as much as football on the tv!
My heart is saddened for you Susan and Silas. ~ Brenda Williams
