I have many memories of going to Bobby and Sarah's house with my Mom and Dad (Bill and Ann Cole) and swimming in the pool with Greg while our parents visited. As adults, every time Randy and I have ran into Greg, I got a big ole hug while he yelled CUZ! He was one of a kind that had more friends than he knew. He will be missed.

Praying for peace and healing for the family. Greg & I were childhood friends and I have many memories of us growing up together. We rode to school together when we got our drivers license and we hung out together with several other girls and guys that went everywhere together. I also loved Sara & Bobby, they were awesome parents who loved Greg so much.
