Memories and Condolences
for Gregory Palao
March 13, 2014
May the Blessings Of God support the Palao Family during this time of loss. Meatball simply loved hunting and fishing, and anyone with him enjoyed his company. Meatball had a way with him that's hard to describe. He was just always friendly, warm and extremely humorous. I know he will not only be missed by his family, his friends, The Blue Ridge Hunting Club, scores of others, and by me. Again, May God Bless the Palao Family. Sincerely, Micheal and Cerlida Fletcher.

My prayers are with all of you. My friends who were like family on Columbus St. The only reason why I wasn't there with you all is because my Aunt Ruby service was the same day Brenda & Joycelyn mom from 1327 Columbus. The times did not allow us to come & share time with you all. Keep your memories & God will give you the comfort & strength you need through it all. Love Sharon Shelby

From "Meatball " to "Cus", from Charity Hospital to MCLNO to LSU, we shared some days, and party nights. I will always remember the jokes, the smile, the teddy bear hugs, but most of all the last time I saw you with your daughter in the hall of the Interim LSU Hospital where we had but minutes to speak. Rest on my brother, Rest On!

Very saddened to see a face so well known.
"Meatball" was the person who made everybody smile. A beautiful person I will never forget the old days at Charity Hospital.
Let his smiles ,laughs and great personality all be fond memories of him.
Keeping the Palao Family in our Prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
