Not sure what to say?

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Rest well Uncle Greg

We were lost for words when we heard you had gone on to glory. Ron and I have so many good memories of you, to many to speak on. Rest in glory Gregory! We are praying for the family and everyone who loved Greg.

It’s still mine blowing that you’ve received your wings. You were the MAN, my boy, my big brother from another mother across the street. Our families were intertwined a long time ago and it has never been a dull moment. Rest easy Big G❤.
My continued prayers and love is there with the family.
Forever Loved!
Moonie

Praying with you and for you love you Val

Our sincere sympathy and love to you Sandra and Gregory’s family at such a time in your life. We pray God’s infinite blessings upon each of you and His peace be with you. Rest well Gregory♥

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Greg was a cool man and we bonded when we first met because our birthday was on the same day. RIP Big Bro
