Im very sorry for your loss. I knew Gregory in high school then our paths crossed again when our children started attending the same elementary. Every morning and afternoon I would see Gregory drop off and pick up his kids at school in his pick up truck with his adorable dogs. Lots of love, prayers and strength going out to his family.

To all my Fernandez Family,
Words cannot begin to explain the sadness I have felt in my heart since the day I found out about Greg. A life so precious and so young taken to soon. I was thinking back of all the times I was at my auntie and uncles church services they had and there was Greg being a clown that he was and my auntie Gloria giving him that look to settle down and he would just look and stay quite and smile. Take comfort in knowing that he is now in the presence of the Lord and has been reunited with my Auntie and Uncle. Always treasure and cherish all the beautiful memories you all shared with him and I know there were many of those. Greg will forever be in our hearts and will be forever missed by all who were blessed to know him. I pray that Gods peace comfort the hearts of his beautiful children and also bring peace to my primas and primos during this most difficult time. You are all in my heart and in my prayers..Love you all
May you R.I.P Greg..

October 28, 2015

Greg blessed us with his presence and now will be blessed in His kingdom. May your heavy hearts be lifted as your family grows stronger. May the spirit of love remain in your family. I love you Greg. We will all be together soon. Bless all your family and friends.
