Dear Julie,
I just found out yesterday that Greg passed... I couldn't reach him by phone so I stopped by the house. The neighbor lady broke the news to me. My Heart suck as I stood there looking at all the beautiful things the two of you created there... I only met you once, but your "story" and the "Love" was all over both of you... God Bless you and keep you, and yours

Our family will truly miss Greg. He had a kind heart and a wonderful sense of humor. He was a good friend. When you saw Julie and Greg together their love for each other was like a bright star in the dark night. Our deepest sympathies go out to Julie, Jade, Alexis and Devin, in their time of loss. Our hearts are with you.

Greg was the best computer tech we ever had, and a person we came to know as a very kind and wise soul.

We owe him a great deal of gratitude for recovering our company's computers after a bad fire earlier this year. We will never forget him for this, and his deep spirituality.

God Bless Greg, and all of his Family and Friends who miss him dearly.

I want to join with other to express my deepest sympathy. Greg is one of the truest friends I have. I met Greg the day before I moved to Australia, so we became Internet friends first and by the time I returned to the states a few years later we were well on our way to being best buds. Since then he have become a part of my extended family. My parents, sister and nieces have all conveyed their sorrow at his loss.

I can still hear his unique and contageous laughter in my mind.

It is with our deepest sympathy that we offer your family our heartfelt condolences. Greg was a very caring and fun person. Our staff always referred to him as " Our favorite computer guy." Our business is three years old and Greg was our only IT contract, he installed our computer systems from the ground up. He always made himself available whenever we had any concerns, even if the concerns were about our family computers. We already miss him a great deal. Thank you for thinking about us Julie, we greatly appreciate you.
Tammy Howard, Debbie DeLuca, Fatima Even and the entire staff at Agape Health Care Agency.
