Life without you in it, will never be the same! Your smile and sheepish laughter was contagious. Your morning emails always began with, "Good morning Denise, how are you and ended with, "OK, have a good day". Somewhere in the middle of the email he would always ask, "Is Dawnie there??? This might seem simple or trivial to some but Greg was sincere about his love for his family and I was blessed to have him as my brother-in-law.
