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!!
Audrey I’m so very sorry for the loss of you husband and best
friend. Only God can give you comfort and strength to endure
this. I’ll be praying for you and your family. I love you dear
friend!!

Audria & children I'm so sorry to hear about the
passing of Gary. I never knew him but I know he
left a family behind who loves him dearly. I pray
God will give each of you extra strength to face
the days ahead and I know he will. I've heard how
he loved to play with Mamie Jewel, I know that will
be something you will always cherish in your heart.
Our memories of a loved one can make us happy many
times in our life. Blessings to you , the boys &
family,
