Dear Lisa, we met only a couple of times thru Stacy but yet I needed to express my sincere condolences for your loss. I have followed your blog and have cried so many times and have even laughed a little also( the plastic flowers was awesome) Gary fought a long tough battle with you(and the Lord) along side of him the entire way. Now it is his turn, to stand beside you and the boys tomorrow as you go through a tough day tomorrow. You are in my heart and prayers.God Bless you, the boys and the entire Sallee Family
Lisa, Nate, Zach & Jax -
Jeff and I are so incredibly sorry for the loss of Gary. I know that he lives on in your hearts & the memories that you all shared together. He will be with each of you every step of your lives.
I have tried to make arrangements to come today, but I am unable to - I want you to know that I really want to be there to show you my support.
You will all by in my heart and prayers every day - especially today.
We will be sending you a donation for the fund - but please if there's anything we can do for you, the boys and even Hobie - please let us know!
You are loved by so many people - internationally - and I know that even through the loss of Gary - you will never be alone with the love of so many.
I hope to see you soon!

Lisa,
Although I was at Gary's beautiful memorial today, I did not get the opportunity to personally hug you and let you know how much I have thought of you and your journey through such a painful time.
I was there with Ron, Sam, Maddy and Gavin today - but as we were in in line Maddy and Gavin got armpit deep in the fountain at Tijeras Creek and I went to "solve" that situation. When I returned Ron and Same were through the line and you were onto next in a long line of well wishers. A similar thing happened on the way out. My role turned into that of ensuring Ron and Sam could spend time with you, family, your home group and and extended family without having to worry about the kids - the sad result was I was unable to "personally" extend my love and hugs to you. Consider yourself hugged.
I am available for whatever you need. Having helped my Mom through her grief when we lost my step-dad who raised me - I am so aware of "moments" to come when in the middle of an ordinary day when your "forget for just a fraction of a second" and turn to talk to Gary or call him. I get that. I know your support system is strong but be it a weeks from now or months from now - I can be there for you if you need anything. You will continue to be in my prayers.
Much love to you and the boys and a special scratch on the noggin to Hobie ( they feel grief and loss too)
Jackie (Sam has my number and feel free to use it)
You are pretty close to the most selfless person I've known. Jake told me that you told him to call you if he needs anything once we move. I can't believe you have the time or energy to worry about anyone else besides yourself and your boys. Your generousity has touched our whole family.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You are an inspiration and a true example of faith. We will continue to lift you and the boys in prayer. Don't be afraid to call Jake if you need anything. He can be a great babysitter, a music teacher, a baseball fan...
