"Gary would say to me all the time, 'Shielia, take care of Shannon Price, Gary's wife. Help Shannon to be successful' because he knew he had less than a year left," Erickson said. "He didn't know it would be so soon, but he knew he didn't have a lot of time left. According to Gary it was just that's what he was told by the doctors because of all of his health issues."
