Sometimes I feel like I can still pick up the phone and call and tell Greg all the things that Chandler has said and done. But then I remember that Greg is watching him and already knows what he's done. Words can't really convey what my heart wants to say but I have a feeling that Greg already knows.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We are going to keep you all in our prayers, so that your good memories of Greg will ease away the sorrow. We still miss you on Castiglione Street. With Love, Michelle & Lambert

It was because of our sons that our family shared soooo many similarites. From kindergarden, artwork and personal encounters our friendship and love for each other grew. We will NEVER forget y'all and because your angel has gone home to be with the Lord I just know that Mike will always remember him more. Thank God we know HIM and realize our family members are borrowed treasures. Denise (Dr. Denise Thomas) may the Lord continue to keep you stronger because you are already a strong black woman that will be used to give testimonies to others. I pray that the Lord continue to keep you operating as head of your family Big Greg and Garren you should already know that your brother was truly a remarkable young man. Katrina may have separated and distanced us but we will always be close at heart with our families. Please return to NOLA and visit us.

Love, Trina, Mike and Josh XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

To: Thomas Family
“No one can truly know what you are experiencing in this time of loss. Please accept my condolences and know that you are in my thoughts.”
“During this time of sorrow, may the gentle presence of friends and the caring love of family help to comfort you.”
“I want so much to help you and be there for you. Yet I know nothing can fix this heartache. Please know that you are not alone. You are continually in my thoughts and prayers. I want to help in any way I can.”
“ I cannot imagine what you are experiencing these days. Please know that we are thinking of you, and our prayers are with you.”
“Although, I’m so sad to hear of your loss, I have such good memories of Little Greg and the times we spent together. I will never forget the times my mother enjoyed babysitting; she loved it. It restore so much JOY in her . . . .
