OH Janie and family. I can't think of a word of comfort other than Greg brought so much of that to so many!! He will be greatly missed and was absolutely one of my favorite people. I will be praying for you all. He loved each and everyone of you so much and that was all we ever talked about, his and my glorious families. He always made me feel special and that's a great man.

Wow !
Saddened would be an understatement . Sitting here with a huge smile and tears in my eyes remembering back to the Glory days of Oak Tree and before that , Quail Creek. What would life had been without "Cookie"....certainly not as good . Will miss you partner and thanks for everything especially your friendship.
Hugs to Janie and the kids....Love you all .
