To the Shelton family
Sorry to hear about Greg.
My husband & I bought our first Toyota from Greg.. We liked him instantly. Talking to him was always a joy. You could feel & tell he loved the Lord. He is in a better place & we can see him again one day.

To Kim and family:
My son Andrew and I were able to visit Greg and the hospital a few weeks ago, and it was an inspiring visit. Greg had so much spirit in him. Although he was "just" our salesman at Toyota, he always was a real friend to us. He was one of the finest men we have ever known, and we will miss him, and always remember him. We know God will comfort you now and along the rest of your journey, until you meet with Greg again.

To Mrs.Shelton and her family,I heard of your loss and wish I could have shown my respects in person.As I have read the guest registry I can tell how loved and respected your son was. As they speak of his smiling face and how he had a great way with people it makes me think of you Mrs.Shelton and that is exactly the way you were and still are when I think of you. I miss not getting to see you at the mall and want you to know that you have held such a special place in my heart for years and I am so sorry for you and your family.Me and my family will continue to pray for you and hope you find peace. Just think, you raised a son that touched lives in the same way you have. Love and Prayers.

Kim and Family,
Chuck and I counted Greg as a good friend. Our memories of him go all the way back to high school. Even though we didn't see him very often, whenever we did, he always had a happy smile and a kind word. Keeping you and your family in our prayers,

Word has reached us about Greg's passing, and we are deeply saddened by the news. I first knew Greg in high school - he was a thoughtful and kind person, outstanding in so many ways. Later on I had the opportunity to work for him and with him in the insurance business. He always encouraged us to excell and taught quite a few people how to sell successfully. He was one of the most consistently upbeat and positive people I ever had the privilege to be around.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. May the God of all peace comfort you in these days.

Shelton family,
My prayers are with you during this sad time in your life. It was a joy to know Gregg in High School and to sing with him in chorus. He always had a way of making us smile.
God bless.

Mr. and Mrs. Shelton and family. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Greg. I still fondly remember how generous he was to take me to school while my mother was ill. I loved to hear him sing along with the radio, cranked up and windows rolled down! Every time I hear the song, "We're Just Dust Blowing in the Wind" I always think of him.
I remember him as a kind and generous spirit, very giving and quick to laugh.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the family, including his wife, children and grandchildren.
May your hearts find peace knowing the joy your son brought to so many people.
Sincerely,
Lisa Long Quintis

Greg, My brother was not just a car salesman. He was a wonderful husband, father, son, and the BEST brother a girl could ever hope for. Greg was always thinking, whether it be of a new poem to write or how to make someone's day.He was a brilliant man in so many ways. His smile and laughter will always be there for those of us that love him so much.And he had so many people that loved him, his last year on this earth proved that. Thank you to all that have helped lighten my families load these last few months. You are loved and appreciated. Please don't ever forget Gregory Stuart Shelton and how he has touched all of us.I know I will never. Besides my husband he was the best man in my life and my other best friend.

Dear Shelton Family,
My heart hurts with each of you. Greg was such a kind & friendly person. I remember church youth activities, chorus and his wonderful bass voice! I will miss running into him at the grocery store and seeing his smiling picture in the paper for Serra. Hold on to the wonderful memories, each other, and above all God's hand for your strength. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I want to express to the Shelton family how sorry I am for their loss and to remind them that their loss is heaven's gain.

My prayers are with you at this time, Greg will be missed by everyone that knew him. God bless you and strengthen you.
