Memories and Condolences
for Gregory Rush
December 9, 2004
There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.
A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.
Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.

Nothing I can say will bring back Greg, but I thoroughly enjoyed working with him, up until his last day. As a younger officer I learned alot from Greg and I wasn't even on his shift! My prayers are with your family and with Greg where he is now with GOD! May GOD bless! Ofc. Shawn Rhodes SD-1.

In the midst of our pain "God does all things well".
Love to my family, my Godmother Ms. Bea and the boys, Debbie and the entire unit.
Greg will be missed by all. I am glad we had time to share as a family raised together, and I am particulary happy that we had time to share as a family unit this past summer. My hands and heart go out in the lost of such a calm and loving person.
