Dear Doran Family,

Though we've never met, I wanted to express my deepest sympathy for you and your family. I know there are no words that can ease your sorrow. You've been in my thoughts and prayers and my prayers will continue to be with you. May God bless you all.

I did not know Gregory, nor do I know the family, but I do however know the pain that goes with losing a loved one. I would like to share something I read that helped me cope with my loss. WELCOME HOME

When I am gone, release me. let me go.

I have so many things to see and do.

You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. I gave to you my love. You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you have each shown. But now, it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for awhile that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say

"WELCOME HOME"
