I CANNOT EXPRESS THE HEARTACHE I FEEL FOR THE LaVIGNE FAMILY MEMBERS, LEFT BEHIND TO MOURN GARY'S PASSING. GARY LEFT BEHIND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, CARING, LOVING WIFE, ANY MAN WOULD WISH FOR. HIS MOTHER (MOM) LaVIGNE WAS A SAINT TO PUT UP WITH ALL THE CRAZINESS FROM GARY (THE LEADER OF THE PACK)AND GARY'S SIX SIBLINGS. I WAS TRULY BLESSED THE DAY THIS FAMILY CAME INTO MY LIFE, BACK IN 1957. EVERY FAMILY HAS IT'S UPS/DOWNS, BUT THIS WAS A FAMILY THAT ALWAYS REMAINED FAITHFUL TO EACH OTHER UP TO THIS VERY DAY. MAY GOD BRING COMFORT TO MARY, THEIR (TWO) DAUGHTERS AND ALL THE "GRAND BABIES" WHOSE GARY'S BLOOD RUNS THROUGH. MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE MEMBERS OF THIS FAMILY, FOR THEY TRULY ARE A GIFT FROM GOD TO ALL OF US WHO KNOWS THEM. GARY IS NOW BACK HOME WITH HIS ADORABLE SISTER JEANNINE, AND HIS DEVOTED FATHER, ROY... WE WILL ALL MISS YOU, GARY, BUT MAY YOU ENJOY YOUR FAMILY REUNION IN GOD'S HEAVENLY HOME... LOVE, BETTY
