David Greer wrote a sympathy message

“We are so sorry to hear of Mr Gaines' passing. We met him at our church a few years ago and he and Mrs Gaines were really nice people. I knew Vicki from many years ago, but had never met her parents. I just got a sense of comfort and joy whenever I talked to them. Our good thoughts and prayers are with Mrs Gaines and the family at this hard time. Stay well and always remember what a good man he was. Dave and Pat Greer”
