Dear Paige,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your sweet husband Gregg. Although I never met him, it was always obvious how much you loved him. Gregg must be incredible - the sparkle in his eyes is evident even in the newspaper photo! From reading about him in the obituary, it seems you two are the perfect match, with his fun-loving ways and your sparkling personality. I wish I had known sooner and could have come to give you a hug at the viewing. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there, my friend. Love, Diane

Dear Paige and girls,
Our family is so sorry to hear of your loss. Paige, you were and still are one of Sondra's favorite teachers. Your warmth and kindness has never been forgotten. Gregg made her feel very special about being a chicken and the yellow brick road! May all the warmth and kindness you need at this time be yours. You are in our thoughts and prayers. All our love,
Omer family

Dearest Paige,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your love. Unbelievable, but apparently his mission here was through & the Lord needs his charming spirit on the other side. We know that it will be very hard for you as each lonely night comes, just stay close to the Lord & he will let you feel the presence of Gregg in your heart. He will always be able to watch over you & the girls, and you will know when he is near. Please know that our thoughts & prayers are with you as your heart begins to heal.
With deepest sympathy & love,
Josh, Kristy & Wyatt Edwards

You were my first grade art teacher at Windsor Elementary eight years ago. I'm sorry to hear about your husband! It sounds like he's a great person, who has lived a celestial life. You'll see him again, and for the time in between, Heavenly Father will comfort you. I've seen Him do it, and He loves you as much as anybody!

Dear Paige:
I was so sad when Deanna Taylor told me of your husband's accident. I appreciate so much all you did for my daughter, Emily, when she was in first grade. You are a wonderful teacher. I don't know what to say except for the fact that we love you and are thinking of you and we know the Lord loves you and that is why He has created such a beautiful plan in which we can be together forever with those we love. I hope and pray that this knowledge will sustain you and give you strength in the difficult days ahead. May the Lord bless you!

Dear Paige and Family,
I was so heartbroken to hear of Gregg's passing.I'm still in a bit of shock. Even though I haven't seen him for so many year's, his death has put a hole in my heart. A part of my history, childhood and youth memories have gone with him. Gregg and Doug Willey were the reason Laura and I joined the army. They were so excited to go and have the army help pay for their college.I'm not sure if that aspect of our enlistment ever paid out. I remember serving our reserve weekends together at Rick's College (really we just would catch up on sleep.) All the memories I have of Gregg were good. His smile was contagious. And he always made you feel that he was excited to see you. Now it is his turn to feel that excitement from all those who are greeting him on the other side. To Paige and your family, our thoughts and prayers are with you every moment. To Gregg--Your smile will be forever in my memory until I see you agein and are embraced by it once more. Good bye my friend.

The kids still remember the dump truck ride Gregg gave them. When we lived in Cedar Hills, Gregg worked in our neighborhood hauling dirt. The kids and I could hear his dump truck coming down the street. We would run outside and wave. He always had a big smile on his face and would honk at us which the kids loved. We will miss him and his smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I'm so glad Doug will be there with all of you.
Love,
Charisse,Cory and Madie

Dear Kathie, Tom, Paige & family...I have so many fond memories of your family & have been reflecting upon what a great guy Gregg was. He was always so fun & had such a contagious smile. Our loss is definitely Heaven's gain. I know he is already making it an even better place there. I'll never forget the trips to Shasta or the famous "scoin' dude" handshake. My heart goes out to you all & I wish we could be there to support you, but please know you are in our thoughts & prayers. We love you all, Ben, Niki & boys.

Dear Paige,
We are very sorry for your loss. We feel as though Greggs mission here on earth wasn't complete, but God must have saw otherwise. We feel privileged to have known Gregg and your family. What an honor it was to be there when you were sealed together forever it was a special day we will never forget. Gregg was always so generous to share all his yummy treats with Bre and Eli. Although Bryce and Gregg had some bad days at work it will be the good times we remember, dinner, softball, stories of free mix-ins for big feet, plywood sun screens, and of course all the treats. Paige you are a very good strong women, the Lord must have something great for you in store. You will always remain in our prayers. Love All of Us Battys

I first met Greg when we were 12 years old at a Deacons activity. I still remember the goofy grin he had on his face that day. Gregg and I attended High School together, went on endless water skiing trips, were roomates at Ricks college for a semester and joined the Army Reserves together. Gregg was in a word "unique". Although I haven't spoken to Gregg in over a year I miss him already. I know that he is somewhere right now smiling.

Dear Paige, Marnie, and Madison,
We are so sorry for your loss. We will be thinking of you and we will remember you in our prayers. Greg was a great guy. He always had a piece of candy to give Candice at church and he was a good home teaching partner with me for a time before the wards split. I enjoyed getting to know him better and appreciated his friendship. He will no doubt be missed by many. Our prayers are with you as you struggle through this difficult time. Sincerely,
Jeff, Jennifer, Candice, Alex and Karlie Johnson

Speedy, I hope God has pair of 12's on the back of your cloud, and an endless supply of Marcus cookies, shaved chocolate not the "funny stuff" chopped stuff. You left too soon..Take care of your gals as you always have. "hugs and kisses" Darrin
