Gary, Sorry to hear about your folks and your divorce. I know what that is like. God will heal the hurt. Take care of your folks, you know they will not be around a lot longer. My Mom passed away 14 years ago at 58. My dad is now 76. The cases you built for me are top notch. Let us know when you are up and running for open orders. You are in my prayers.

James

Dear Gary.............
I Admire you. It's NOT easy at ALL telling the whole "World" about such things. (At least for ME anyway) Now, Speaking for myself here, When I have WAY TOO MANY "Irons in the Fire," and I TRY to "Deal" with "Me, Myself, and I," And then with ALL of my Familys' "Everyday
Crazyness" TOO, and IF I decide to "put of" my "prioritys" during all of this, SOMETHING HAS to, and WILL "Give"....BUT, in MY case, unfortunetly most of the time, my "Outcome" of my prior anticipation was NOT anywhere NEAR what I THOUGHT, WANTED, or HOPED they would be. And, Brother, I am BAD when it comes to THAT! (Just ONE of my MANY "Character Defects") I do hope all "Falls into Place" for you and your Family.
God Bless you and yours, My Friend....I will keep you in my prayers.
So.....Take your time.........BUT.....Hurry on Back here SOON, and let us all know how "Things" are going for you, OK?

hey Guys, thank you for all your prayers, man this has been one crazy times for me.

you hear of other ones losing love one and you have no way of knowing what they are feeling, til it come home to you, then you know what they are feeling, I'm really sorry
for not getting my orders out,

like said i would, every time i go to the shop to work
something would come up,with dad or mom,then Dad pass away everything just got so bad for me i just could not think right, the more i try the harder it would get,

everyone round home here would say i need to this, need to go here, and don't do this, and don't do that so just had all i can take,just wanted to walk away from it all just get in my van take off and not come back, have you ever been there.that the way i was feeling,

one day i was talking to my bro in the Lord Jim Marconi, how i was feeling and he said to come up he has a shop and to bring my stuff and build your cases here for as long you needed, Jim and his wife kathy, I just like to say there are the best they have help so much I'm feeling alot better now.

if i didin call or e-mail you i was just feeling down out i'm very sorry , like i have said in this post i would get my order out to you.

if it was me and i have order something didin think i was going to get it i would be mad also,

Im lookin at a 15,000 sq ft buiding to buy just down the road from me at a very good price,$75,000.00

Jim M,said he can help me get a better prices,there a place in the building all ready for my shop it has 220 power thats good, good lighting and lot of room, I will be living there and Mom that good,

also there a place where i can put my chruch, and there a place where i have STEELIN OF JESUS steel guitar show like did when i had my other church wear the rent got to high for me to keep it going, so i can do much much more there,

so don't give up on me i will keep on building great cases please pray that the Lord help me to get this place

God Bless to every one on this forum

Gary,
I had no idea what you were going through when I met you at the jam in Columbus last July. I guess I was too pre-occupied with me playing at my first jam. I am sorry about your situation and I will keep you in my prayers. God is good, let us not forget. It sometimes seems easier to stay away from Christian brothers when times are hard but that's just another trick of the devil trying to take you out. There is strength and comfort to be found in fellowship with your Christian brothers.
I hope to see you again next time I am out your way.

God Bless,

Pete
