TooBoo (Greg Sr.),

My heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of your son. Always know, God never makes mistakes and its hard for us to understand why. He only knows why.

Continue to pray. It will get better day by day. Have faith and remember, God never puts things on us we can't bare. It only makes us stronger!

GOD BLESS!!!

R.I.P LiL Greg
I have tried and tried to find words but i just can't. It's so hard to say goodbye. I can't belive you are gone it seems like am in a deep sleep and i can't wake up. Day and night i wait for you to come to the house an ride the golf cart, or eat at na-na, on the computer, spending the night, or going out to eat or going bowling those or things we will never have again. But you will always be near to me. I remeber when boys call for me you and Kay would fuss at them and me thanks for caring. If you don't no me by now from reading this note am Asia. Greg and Kay B was my big brothers nad i was baby sis to them. But as the sun begin to shine i no that you are smile down on me. So my Big Bro take your rest and sleep on we will never understand why but only god no why. Me and Kay B will hold down in the hill and let your memories live on rest my rest my brother we all no that you are in a better place Love always and never forget you missn you dearly.

To the family of Gregory Grant,

I had the pleasure of meeting Greg back in August 2003. At that time, I worked at Rosenwald and was teaching his first cousin, KaShawn. As the year passed by and years afterwards, I grew tremendously close with the Grant family.

Gregory was such a nice young man. He was always smiling and always treated me with the upmost respect. Greg and KaShawn were always dressed to impress and were two peas in a pod.

The last time I saw Greg was last summer at two different cookouts in Society Hill. I remember conversing with him, telling him how handsome he was, and encouraging him to continue to do what he was suppose to do and be successful.

I was totally shocked when hearing about Gregory's passing. Gregory will definitely be missed. I can only imagine how you all feel. I have one son myself and know that I would be completely devastated.

At times like this, we should grow stronger in our faith. It is okay to cry but know that Greg is in a better place. Remember that God will never put more on us than we can bear. Continue to look to the hills from where your help comes from.

If there is anything I can do to assist you during this difficult time, please feel free to call on me. Know that your family are in my family and my prayers. Greg will be missed, but not forgotten.
