My husband, Jim, and Gaylen were good friends and when Jim couldn't ride a horse anymore because of his MS, we had to sell the ones we had. Jim saved his favorite horse to sell last. We had thought we would have to keep this horse, but got a call from Gaylen saying he wanted to look at him. Gaylen and Margie came out to the house and liked what he saw. He told Margie this horse would be hers, so she had to test drive him. She loved him and they drove off with him in the trailer, as far as I know Margie still had him when she passed away. Gaylen said she loved that horse. Thanks, Gaylen and Margie! God Bless. Tessie Robinson
Just remembering all the great memories of childhood vacations spent in Texas. Was glad my wife was able to meet Gaylen as we passed through Amarillo several years ago. She was able to say she met a real cowboy.
Margie Lee and Family,
I was saddened to hear of Gaylen's passing. I'll always have my childhood memories of him as a cowboy that could well have been in the movies! He was a great guy and you have my deepest sympathies at his passing this world but hope for his entry into one much better!
Sincerely,
Larry McVay
Another precious cousin is with our Lord. Hugs to the family and just know that we love you all. Dan and Luelen (Frederiksen) Coughlin
