Ross Grove extends their prayers to the family! I wish we had known.

Kathy and I were so saddened to hear of Brother Greg's passing. He was a gentle giant in the faith who loved people into the Kingdom of God. He was papa not only to his own children but also so many through his and your work, Jeanne, at Florida Baptist Children's home. Brother Greg was a man of many talents, preaching, teaching, musical, etc. and he used them all for the glory of God. He brought such joy and laughter when you were around him. Brother Greg was to me a pastor's pastor who...

Jeanne, We miss you and are so very sorry to hear about Greg! He was always wonderful when teaching our Sunday School class. I looked forward to his lessons. " Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Ps. 116:15 Together we can look forward to God's promise of Heaven - for all who believe and accept JESUS as Savior. We love you, our sister in Christ!

Krista, Sorry I couldn't make it to the receiving of friends but you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time. May God lift you up.

Jeanne, please know you and your family are in our prayers. Greg will be missed by many and never forgotten in Tallahassee! Gray and Carol Cartee

There is no doubt that he has already heard, "Well, done, good and faithful servant"! Going to Ruby Tuesdays will never be the same for us. We will miss Greg's wisdom and good humor. Our love and prayers continue for Jeanne and the...
