Allison, my heart greaves for what must be one of your most life altering moments.
Also for Greg, who's EXTRAORDINARILY TALENTED LIFE on earth was much to short.
He was an amazing man, drummer, son, husband, father and friend that
God so graciously shared with us for what seemed like only moments.
The positive energetic impact he made on this planet will last forever. Along with his kindness, and most beautiful smile anyone was fortunate enough to have had graced upon them.
The last time I heard Greg sing was on the car stereo with our granddaughter Addison singing along at the top of her 3 year old lungs...."ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WORLD" !!!
and then proclaiming... "That's my favorite song"
I believe that Greg is now indeed... "ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WORLD" smiling on everyone.
My thoughts and prayerful mediations are with you and Jack. With heart felt love, Deedee
