Dear Bernie & Family,

We heard Greg's name announced at mass on Sunday morning during the Prayers of the Faithful as we prayed for those who had departed from this earthly life. Greg was certainly one of the "Faithful", and will be dearly missed as one of our regular members of our small faith group. It is hard to believe that the two of you first came to our Renew group 21 years ago. He was truly a wonderful person... kind, sincere, considerate, open, loving and faithful. Whenever I feel I'm not happy, I remember Greg's words of guidance...keep a BALANCE in your life. We will miss his friendly smile and his presence in our group. God bless and keep all of you in his everlasting care.

I was so sorry to hear about your father, I doubt you remember me, but we used to be neighbors. I lived across the street from you on Sheridan avenue in Whiting. I was good friends with Georgette and Gwen.

You might remember me as Missy.

I offer my sympathies to you and yours.

Genise and family,



Know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very difficult time.



Our family knows the heartache that you're facing. Keep your dad's memory and spirit alive for his grandchildren so that they know what a special man their grandfather was.



May God bless you and keep you in His care.
