Dear Family & Friends,
I don't know any of you but when I saw such a young boy in the death notices my heart skipped a beat. My brother passed away at a very young age, 21 years ago, and it was heartbreaking. My parents are leaders of a support group for parents who have lost a child. They are Tony & Bernie Misita (675-3844). They would be happy to speak, listen or hold your hands while you cry. Call day or night. You will never be alone. God Bless all of you.

Susan and Family: I am so very sorry about your loss. I did not know Gregory, but the great photo you submitted of him speaks volumes. You can tell just from looking at that photo of him that he must have been a very fun loving person. I feel very bad for all of you, and also for his cat. I can speak from experience that this will get much easier on all of you with time.
