Greg, Lori and Mattie, words can not express how sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered come to me. With tearful eyes we watched and saw you pass away although you were loved you dearly, we couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke ...our hearts to prove to us, he ONLY takes the best.

Grayson, I woke up this morning and was reminded that you were not here. You weren't in your bed, you were not fussing for a bottle, you were not there for me to make you laugh. I know where you are at. You are in heaven with Jesus and your great grandma Mattie Lou. Grandma is holding you, rocking you, and singing to you. Grandma knows exactly what to do, because she watched over me with my family. She knew you were coming, so she prepared a bottle for you, and held out her hands and hasn't put you down yet. I love you my little turkey tail, I love you so much. I will see you again, soon. Love Mommy
