Gregory Matanane Memoriam

Message of Appreciation

We, the family of our dearly beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother, Gregory Andrew Matanane, would like to express our sincerest and deepest appreciation to family and friends who prayed with us, embraced us, offered words of encouragement, and contributed from their hearts many acts of kindness. From this day forward, a great challenge befalls us all as we take on each day without the physical presence of our beloved Gregory; yet, we are strengthened by faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ who gives us hope and fills us every other blessing; and that with your sacrifice and prayers, Gregory will be lifted up and will rest peacefully in the care of our loving Creator. Words alone cannot express our gratitude, so just know that our hearts are comforted and filled with joy because of each and every one of you. Un Dangkulu Na Si YuÕus MaÕase Ginen I familian Gregory, Gloria C. Matanane, Gregory A. Matanane Jr., Malia C. Matanane & Saia Taumoefolau, Mateo C. Matanane, Roke C. Matanane and our children, The Matanane & Cruz Families.

Dearest Lola and family,
I'm sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. Greg was such a good person; a good husband, father, and grandfather. He was always so pleasant to be around. My prayers are with you and may Our Lord continue to sustain you and keep you safe in the palm of His hand.

Greg & Family,

Our sincere sympathies and condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Trust in the Lord....your father is resting and is at peace. Although he is gone physically, your memories of him will always be with you. Treasure them with your children. Although Cathleen & I never met your dad, we know he was a good father in the way you cared for Cathleen during your deployment together in Kuwait. Thank-you and God Bless!
