Mr. Greg
I have very fond memories of my childhood at your house. I remember you always treating all of us kids great and being the life of the party with your sense of humor. One joke in particular "Who want's punch? Well line up and I'll punch you!" LOL Got to love it! I remember our days of shooting pool and you teaching me the ropes. Good times Mr. Greg, you will be missed by me and my family! God Bless and my best wishes to the family. Your going to walk with God now. Love-Shannon

My Dear Nino,
I have missed you so much with each passing year and wish things would have been different so that I could have spent more time with you. You loved me unconditionally and taught me so much about a nationality and a heritage that I knew nothing about. You took me into your home and life without one question and for all these things I will love and miss you for. You went home to be with Tia Josie and I know that she is waiting to hug you and love you so rest Nino and take with you my love and part of me that no one will ever understand.
Your Goddaughter from Ohio

nothing has ever been the same after grandma passed away 12 years ago.two years after she passed on.i recorded a rap song called "leaving home". it was about living with my grandparents and cousin frankie.just the four of us sharing our lives.we had great times there.but coming to terms that one day
i would move out on my own.leaving home was so hard to do.i missed them even though we kept in touch.and remembering the times i had with them.after grandma passed on.i wrote the song and recorded it.it was the hardest song i ever done.now me and frankie remain here.but now losing grandpa.all i can think of is everything he taught me.the records and music he had was a inspiration to me.seeing all the hard work he did.he never let me down.i'm at peace.because i know that he is in the kingdom of heaven with grandma.the lord wanted him to finally rest.i'm gonna miss you and all the laughter you gave us.i will be strong.i am so proud of you
love your first grandson.
