Greg and Lu are two of the kindest and most loving people I have ever had the pleasure to meet and know.They shared such a deep and real marriage --- two people who truly loved one another and belonged together.They both knew how to show unconditional love to others around them no matter who you were or where you came from. Greg was a hard and honest employee and worker ,an awesome husband ,terrific dad ,fun grandparent ,great friend , and super person. He will forever be remembered and always missed. Greg was a great man and he loved his wife Lu with all his heart.May God Bless you Lu and help carry you and your family through this difficult time. Love and prayers, Lisa Ann Avery and kids xoxo
