Gary Weems’ visible life spoke volumes about his internal character. He was obviously a dedicated, stable, dependable Christian who loved his family, his church, and His Lord. When I had the opportunity to visit the church of his attendance, I noticed that he was usually present, even when he became increasingly ill. He will be missed greatly, but he left a cherished legacy that will be long remembered. May God’s Word and His Holy Spirit (the “Comforter”) provide strength, comfort, and assurance to Gary’s family. Our prayers continue for them.
Prayers for the family. A Really great genuine man.
