Dearest Polly and Family,
My deepest sympathy.
I know the pain you are feeling as I too have that pain in my heart since my daughter Carlen left us on 11/11/05. She always smiled just like Greg did.
You'll always see that smile and through your tears you will smile back.
AFTER GLOW
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one, I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
God Bless You.

We remember Greg with great fondness. He and our son, Corbin, attended Sacred Heart School together and were close friends. He was known around our house as "Dreg" -- Corbin's younger brother, just learning to talk, couldn't say Greg. What a tragic loss. Our deepest sympathies to Polly and the entire family.

That he was near to you
so many a year
But darkens you distress.
Would you he were
less worthy and less dear
That you might grieve the less?
He was a golden font
that freely poured
What goldenly endures,
And though that font be gone,
its bounty stored
and treasured,
Still is yours.
The past is deathless.
Souls are wells too deep
To spend their purest gains.
All that he gave to you
is yours to keep
While memory remains.
Who never had and lost
forlorn are they
Far more that you and I
Who had and have
Judge not the price we pay
For love that cannot die.
