Dear Greene family, I am so saddened by this news. I knew she was sick and we know now she is in heaven with Jesus and in his resting arms. But, I know this must be so hard for you "Mr.Greene" and the rest of the family. You were a great husband and father and I am praying for you now for strength. Mrs. Greene was an awesome woman. I remember as a kid she always had a smile on her face or made jokes about everything in life. We had so many good times at Lake Mishnock and I slept over there countless times and Mrs. Greene treated me just like I was her own. She will be greatly missed by so many I am sure.Love you guys.

I want to thank you so very much for all you have done for me. I have always admired you and think you are an amazing person. Your strength and your courage is greater than anything I have witness. You lived your live with such passion and so unselfishly. I not only love you but more importantly I like you. You were my mother, my friend and my teacher. My life will never be the same without you, but my heart will be full of your love always. I wish you peace and rest. God took my mother here on earth and gave me an angel. I love you more than words can say.
