I cant help but think that just and only 4 days after the passing of my beloved grandmother Alberta Faith Lopez, that the father of a close friend of mine Austin Turner, also passed away.
Just four days after. And i just cant help but wonder, what kind of difference those 4 extra days could have made? Those 4 days he outlived my grandmother, who was alive, and active her whole life.
4 more days Austin could have gotten to know him. 4 more days the people who cared about him could have talked to him. 4 more days his family could have prayed for him.
I never knew Gary, but i know Austin has talked to me about him in the past. This passing brings a hole of sadness to my heart, not for me but for Austin, who is like family to me. This passing, only 4 days after Grandma Faith, to me, is still another very sad loss, and my love snd prayers are woth the family, and those who loved Gary, a man who had many imperfections, but seemed like a truly wonderful person overall to those who knew him.
