Gil, Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You were more than my older brother, you were my best friend, protector, confident and dance partner! Everyone that knew you loved you more than you can imagine! You're are back with Mom & Dad and in good hands. I'm hoping you and Harry can play some eternal rounds of golf!! Forever in my heart.

Dear Gibby, I think of you every day. Miss your phone calls and our dinners every Saturday night, with our dear friends. Never thought you would be gone so soon! You were so dear to me. You were a good man and filled a place in my heart. Always, Liz
