Love is stronger than death even though
it can't stop death from happening,
but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love.
It can't take away our memories either.
In the end, life is stronger than death.
Greg was a complete joy to know, be around and talk with. He will be missed by many only because he was loved and cared for by many.
My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved him, especially his family.
Peace and Love to each of you and Greg.

I was sad to hear of Greg's death. Deepest sympathies go out to his loving family and good friends.
There is a link that goes on after death.
Love and remembrance last forever.
