Dear Gregory,
I know that you were up in heaven, in gods hands, and being taken care of.
As I think back over the years, when you were younger things that come to mind is watching you and your older brother Jason running around having fun. I can still hear your cackle when you would laugh it was always so contagious. I can still see in my mind when you would smile. Your eyes were twinkle and I would call those eyes Santa Claus eyes because they twinkle the same way there is an a day that goes by That I don´t think about you you´re always in my heart
With all the love in the world
Your Dad

My Sweet Greg
It has been a year that you have been gone. We went out to the Sentara parking lot where you died that night, and your friends and family gave a tribute to you on the one year day of 7-10-11. We set off ballons, 2 sets. The first set was 30 ballons. 29 to represent your 29 years on earth and one special one to represent you one year in heaven. Then we set off rememberence ballons, erected a cross signed by everyone there, and laid some flowers in your honor.
I have missed you every single day that you have been gone. Your children also miss you very much. We have placed another white cross in the front garden in honor of you and that will be signed by everyone as they come by.
My sweet son, we know what happened that night. There were people there that saw everything and we know you were not to blame. You did nothing wrong. This man will be brought to justice. We are well on our way already as the trial is about to be set.
I would give my own life to have you here. You are so missed and so loved. I have learned over this last year just how loved you really were. It seems Greg, you touched so many people from your heart to theirs. You are remembered everyday by so many. Your friends have become my friends and you would be so proud of them.
Your children you would also be so proud of. They are strong and capable. They have had to handle so much and they are making you so proud. We know you are watching from heaven and smiling with us. We also know you see our tears...and even after a year there still are some tears.
We love you and we miss you. I carry you in my heart everyday. We will see each other again in heaven when I join you there. I believe God will send you to greet me. Till then you will live in mine and your children's, brothers, aunts and uncles, neices and nephews , and all your friends hearts. We all love you.
One year of you being gone. 29 ballons for your years on earth and 1 for your year in Heaven.

Greg, You are loved by me and so many others. I pray you will get the justice you so much deserve. You were such a bright in your mother's eyes and heart. she misses you so much and she will never forget you. I really missed you when I came to visit your mom. When I came two years ago I remember you came in the house with a 40 in your hand and sat on the bed with me and we had a nice talk. I always came up behind you and pulled your pants up before they hit the floor.:) You just laughed. When Jason laughs, he sounds jist like you, scary. Send a rainbow or two.

My griefshare group teaches that tears are cleansing and are good. I really hope so because I have cried a river for you. I know you are still with me because I feel it in my heart. Every rainbow now that I see I think of you and feel you are telling me you're okay. I even like to think that it is you and God telling me you love me.
You were here for far too short a time but you are with me till the day I join you in heaven. I carried you for 9 months inside me under my heart, then for 29 years I had the privilege of holding you in my arms, and now I carry you within my heart forever. I love you!!
We do things to honor you as much as possible. We do ballon releases, butterfly releases and a Christmas Daddy Tree. You will never be forgotten.

My Dearest Greg
Finally your murderer has been arrested and we are on our way to justice. You are always in my heart and I miss you everyday. I have a poem that reminds me so much of you...so here it is...
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I still can see you as you came into this world. ready to take it on. you alked through your young years with this energy around you. One that pulled people in. You always had a hear tof gold and never knew a stranger. You and Jason would protect each other to the end. I remeber when Jaso started school. you wanted to go so bad. Your Mom and I decfided to let you go the following year even though you were a bit young. I can hear you even to this when you would laugh it was so contages. It was a cackel. and everyone around couldn't help but laugh with you. When you smile your eyes would twickel. I would call them chris Cringle eyes. You go those from your great grand father Delisle. You never met him but you had his personality as well.
I never got to tell you how proud of you I was. You had a few demends in your life just as I do. But you never seemed to give up.
Gregory, I love you so much and because of the mistakes I have made in life I will never get the chance to tell you. However, I know you are in heaven looking down. watching over you Mom, Jason, and your kids. I pray one day we will meet again in heaven.
Gregory I always loved you very much Just as I do Jason. Please forgive me for not being there when you needed me.
With Gods Grace.
Dad.

Greg, we have never met, but you have met my son Jonny. He arrived 9 months before you did. I'm certain he greeted you at the gate for he knew that your mom and I would meet each other here on Earth and would need each other. Know that your mom is in wonderful hands, not just because of her faith in God, but because she has met so many people who understand what she is going through and will do all we can to lift her up in her time of need. Your mom is a strong woman, but you already know this! God Bless Patty!!

The morning after Greg died, Brian Arsenault, his father called me with the news. I felt a void at that time and I prayed. Then I called Pat. We spoke briefly just so she could hear my voice. Then I sent messages to all the Nuns and Monks I know. We all prayed for Greg’s soul to be lifted. I was told His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III also prayed for Greg’s soul to be raised up. I am honored and grateful to the Buddha for his kind gesture. I pray that Greg reach the other shore of liberation and never suffer again. I pray that all who suffer from this tragedy remember the goodness Greg offered and warm your self with his love, but let no covetness enter your mind so as to comfort your hearts and souls.
May we all regain peace and solace and suffer not more.

Greg was the go-to-guy if you needed someone to talk to or to cheer you up on a rough day. He was just always there when you needed him regardless of what he was going through in his own life. He just cared like that. You don't get very many friends like Greg in your lifetime, but when you do, you cherish them and remember them forever. But there is only one Greg Arsenault, there's no doubt about that. I miss ya Greg. You'll always be alive in spirit. I'm honored that I was able to be your friend.

Greg was truely one of a kind. There is just nobody else quite like him out there. I still cant believe he's gone but he is being cared for by The Lord so he is no longer in pain. I loved him like my own brother. No matter how you treated him, if you ever needed help he would have been there to lend a hand. Lilli Maupin aka ur lil sis

Greg was always a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. You could always see him comming with his brilliant smile leading the way. I don't ever remember seeing him without that smile. For those that he left behind, yes he did leave this world too soon and he will be missed. I just want his beautiful three children to remember that he is looking down on you and listening to your prayers. Even though he is not here with you in person he is always in your heart and in your thoughts and he loved each of you with all of his heart. Patti know that he cared for you greatly, you brought him into this world and it is a shame that you had to be here when he left. You will always have my shoulder to cry on, Patti, I love you. Jason though I did not know you well I know that your brother loved you, and he wants you to move on with your life and to be happy. Rest in peace, Greg, rest in peace.
