"This poem is for you Greg. I miss you and will always cherish working with you at Burgerking and hanging out with you and your family. The Broken Chain: We little knew that morning that god was going to call your name, in life we loved you and in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for parts of us went with you, The day god called you home you left us peaceful memories. Your love is still our guide; and though we can not see you, you are always at our side. Our close chain is broked and nothing feels the same, but as god calls us one by one our chain will link again. heather i am very sorry for your loss and give the kids kisses and hugs for me please."

Kandee - Nothing can prepare us for the loss of a loved one- especially one of our children. Though I had met Greg only a couple of times, hearing you speak of him and your daughter and all of the grandkids always made me smile with you and it coveyed the love you have for all of them. Know that my heart aches for you in this time of sorrow. Your loving memories of Greg will live with you forever...smile - remember the fun times, he is watching over you and will always be with you.

Keep the faith...I know Greg has already built a race track for all of us ...in heaven. Love and prayers to each of you. God Bless, Vickie VanderWerff and Family.

Sorry to hear of Greg's death. The last time I saw Greg he was doing jumps on his mini-bike that a lot of the big bikes wouldn't do. It was quite impressive. He definately looked to have a bright future of moto-cross ahead of him. I pray for healing and comfort for his family and friends.
