I will miss talking with Gary and reminiscing about things that happened many years ago when we were young. He had the best memory & could remember things I had forgotten long ago! I know GG loved his Mamie Jewel and there was nothing like her. Everytime I spoke with Gary he had to tell me all about what she was currently doing (like shaking her little butt & dancing). May God bless the family during this difficult time. I will miss you Gary Wompson!!
