Missey and family,
Sorry to hear of Greg's passing. The Holford Family enjoyed you both. I see you brought up three children and have a grand daughter. Remember this:

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear

Our prayers and thoughts are with you Missey and your family during this time of sadness.
