Mr. Greer, George and Elaine,
Our family loved her so much. She always had a smile and a fun story to tell us. She always showed that she cared so much for everyone of us. She never treated us like we were the in-laws but like we were her family. I will never forget the story she loved to tell about how she met Mr. Greer. That story was always so special to me.
Mr. Greer, you and Mrs. Greer were the greatest example for us all. George and Elaine, you know how much she loved you both. Keep that in your hearts always.
I am sorry that we can't come to the service but you know that our thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time.
Our love and prayers,
Jane and Barry
