Dear Sarah,
We've been out of contact for so many years, and I just idly googled you and Greg. I always assumed life was enchanted for you, wherever you were. I was so saddened to see that Greg had died. I read his obituaries and was heartened by his positive and beautiful contributions and wonderful family. I recognized his smile and could hear his hardy laugh. I'm terribly sorry for you and your family. From across the miles and the years....

Dear Sarah,
It's good to know there is this way to send you our condolences. I heard yesterday and have had you and Greg on my mind ever since. I recall when I was small and Greg took me outside to shoot baskets. I was small enough that he lifted me up so that I could drop the ball in the hoop. I wish we hadn't lost contact. Please know that we are sorry for your loss, and will keep your family and Greg in our prayers.

Sarah and Family,
looking at Greg's smile
leaves an etching in
one's heart and soul.
He always had such kindness in his mannerisms, which made all welcomed to his world.
Greg toiled hard,
with purposeful aims
and was admired from afar.
I am happy to have worked
with him, for a short time
and was made to feel like
I was really helping a
whole lot.
That's the way Greg was,
and that's how I will
remember him.
Sarah, you and Greg,
"so perfect together",
could clearly be seen.
So young at heart,
it just didn't seem like
all of your efforts
were even work.
Bless you and yours,
knowing how well
you are thought of.
