I am so sorry to see the loss of another person I´ve always thought highly of. Greg and I shared a lot of common beliefs. I trust he´s with the Lord now. We attended church together at one time at Bethany Assembly of God church. I just found out tonight (Oct. 9) that he´d died Sept. 27. If I´d known I would have paid my respects.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Greg will be dearly missed, I will miss our conversation and all his jokes he told, in the parking lot of Addison Vet Clinic. I felt very lucky to get to know him and Frida and their fur babies.
Love, Julie
