Ms. Sarah and family,
It's Amber, I used to work at G's for 2 years but I quit last year. Mr. Greene and Ms. Sarah were always the highlight of my day. Ms. Sarah always said I was her adopted grandaugther, if someone of the family reads this please let her know that I love her and miss her dearly. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral or visitations, I was not informed of when it was till it was too late. I'm sorry for your loss, Mr. Greene was a wonderful man, and a beautiful soul.
Thank you for everything you have ever done for me and taught me.
I love the both of you!

Amber

I read the obituary on line while on vacation in Florida. My expression of sadness for your loss cannot express my feelings for your father. He was truly a good man and good friend.
