Greg, I still miss you like it was yesterday. I still talk about you and the pain of losing a big brother is still the same. I pray that you are resting in peace. Love you always brother.

Dear Greg I still think about you. You were my second oldest brother. John was living when you passed away. John has passed also. I miss my brothers, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Sometimes we quote those things that you've said.
We miss you brother but God wanted eternal rest for you . Take care of our family. I love you Greg

Greg,
Just wanted you to know how much I miss you. I think about you often and thank God that I had the opportunity to let you know that I loved you. Sometimes it is so hard to say goodbye, but I want you to know that God wanted you to rest. The only way you could rest was for God to take you. Thank you for being my brother and I will see you again. Tell mama, dad, Mike,Al,Allie, McKinley and the rest to take care. I miss you brother.
Love Always
Sherlene

Greg,
We have been on life's journey together. I looked at your heart and not your outer man. You've always wanted to help those that were in need. I have watched you put yourself last and sometimes you didn't get a turn. We knew that you were in pain. We didn't want to be selfish and ask you to stay. You had made your mind up to be in the presence of God. Thank you for being my brother. I will miss you but God wanted you to have eternal rest. I will see you in Heaven. McKinley Allie,...
