I extend my sincere condolences and prayers for the family! I met Gary in the late 90s. We became very good friends. My son's and I visited him in Southfield and he visited us in Atlanta. I will never forget the day 6/23/02 when my sister passed away, he was there to comfort me in such a difficult time. I will never forget all the memories we shared together. Sleep on my friend and take your rest! I love you! Waletha aka Lee Lee Bush
