Kim,
Sometimes people pass through your life and, in an instant, become fast friends. That's how we feel about you and Greg.
May God channel power and strength from your friends and family to help you through this trying time. May God help you to move past the sadness and focus on the joy that Greg brought to your life, because he would have wanted to hear your laugh again. And above all, may God help you to greet each day with a memory of Greg that brings a smile to your face.
We will always remember Greg and be thankful that he passed through our lives. Kim, much love to you and your family.

From the first time Greg greeted us at our motorhome 3 years ago, Mike and I knew we had met a special man. He did everything he could to make us feel welcome to the RV park and his beloved Bay St. Louis. We instantly became close friends with both Kim and Greg and shared many afternoons of exchanging funny stories. We liked the park -- but we LOVED Greg and Kim! We'll never forget those twinkling beautiful eyes and laugh, Greg. Kim, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

My Dad, I love you more than anything in this world. You are my inspiration in life! I will miss you more than any thing life has to offer, I am so lost without you. Words cannot express my feelings for you. The road ahead will be tough. I can't stop thinking about how happy of a man you were nor can I stop telling people of how great of a man you are. I can tell you this, I didn't have to say that much the people you knew came and told me, which gave me a great feeling. You touched a lot of people and made people follow there dream without letting them down. You are the greatest man I've ever met in my entire life. I will always remember you as the greatest person and father I have ever met! I love you with all my heart and soul and you will never be forgotten or replaced.
