Not sure what to say?

Dear Nadine,

No words can console the loss of a child, but knowing that his life was such a great force for good has to be a source of comfort. Our friendship goes back to graduate school, and it was then that I remember meeting your three boys, and the energy and curiosity that they exhibited then. All those wonderful memories of Greg from youth to adulthood will bring feelings of joy, but also the lingering feelings of loss. I know this all too well having lost my youngest...

The best friend any man could ever ask for. Tenaciously loyal, unquestioned love.
Miss you my brother-

Greg was a force to be reckoned with. He took on the homelessness and made a difference in the lives of thousands across the country. Not to mention he created thousands of jobs contributing to our economy. Finally and most importantly, Greg gave these unlucky men and women a second chance, thereby restoring their sense of dignity and purpose. Love you buddy. JLG

No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. However, take comfort in knowing God is with you and your family lean on him in your time of need & remember,

Deepest sympathy to the family of Greg Block.
What an honor that he was from the Columbus, Ohio area.
Thanks for assisting the homeless.
