Eileen, Ben & Molly:
Sorry to hear of your loss. I am still trying to comprehend why? Greg was such a wonderful person, willing to give or do for anyone. He was always had a smile on his face and was always making others laugh and smile. I will never forget all the fun times we shared over the years when my dad would get togeher with the family. I remember as a teenager all the New Years Eve parties at your mom's house, and hanging out in the barn with Phil's kids, and just having a great time. Please remember all the good times you had, in your time of sorrow. I will keep you in my prayers.
Love you guys....
