In loving memory of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Gary E. Karns, who passed away one year ago today, July 31, 2008.

If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,

I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken,

No time to say goodbye.

You were gone before I knew it

And only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness,

And secret tears still flow.

What it meant to lose you

No one will ever know.

Loved and sadly missed by,wife Peggy,children Gary Jr. and Bev, Mark and Becky,Amy and Rick,grandchildren Rachel,Sammy, Amber, Cody,Colton, Cameron and Brielle
