I remember Greg and his family when we were teenagers. His Grandmother, Mary Plegue, married my Grandfather, Frederick (Fred) Maas. "Grandma" Mary was the most wonderful Step-Grandmother anyone could have. Greg and Pam, and their mother, Florence, would visit Grandpa and Mary at their New Haven home.

I've often wondered about Florence, Greg and Pam. It's ironic that I check the obituaries daily (to make sure my name isn't in there! LOL). You never know who you're going to find.

I'm so sorry about Greg's passing. May God wrap His loving arms around your family at this time and give you peace.

I, too, lost my daughter, Andrea Bontumasi, almost a year ago (April 19, forever 27). She left a son, Isaiah, who is now 15 months and lives with a wonderful foster family who is adopting him. They live 3 miles from me, and I see him every week. He brings so much joy to my life.

Sorry to hear of Greg's passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
