Greg was a handsome young boy who smiled through adversity, was patient with pain,accepted the consequences of treatment, while setting an example of courage and bravery for the rest of us. He was truly a gift from God for those who followed his battle. Thanks
Von Ruedens for sharing him with us. We won't forget him. Love and more prayers from Pat Ganzer.
