Mrs. Whitaker my condolences to you and your children. I am a PCT at the Shepherd Center and your husband was my patient. He talked all the time about you and your children. When I left my shift Monday morning he was awake and told me he would see me next weekend. I was so shocked and sad when I found out what happen. Your husband was a wonderful man and he loved you all so dearly. I just wanted you to know how he touched many of us at Shepherd. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family.

Becky, Greg had been on my heart the past few weeks, and I truly regret not reaching out to him. We met 10 years ago on a hot spring day when he was working at Woodward North. He really appreciated the bottle of water I had for him, and we met for coffee shortly after. Through the years, we would talk when he was at North Point, and when I went through my divorce, he always made an effort to ask how my daughters and I were doing. That always meant a great deal, and his words of encouragement were a comfort and a blessing. Even after I moved to Decatur, he was in my thoughts, and I will miss him dearly He was a wonderful man and you and your family will be in our prayers.
