"Edna I just found out about Greg. Even though we had our problems, it never stopped me from loving him I know that's it doesn't matter to you. I hope he was happy in life. Truly it pains me for your loss. I saw how much u loved your son"
"High School memories are simply filled with fun, laughter, competition and most definitely friendship. Memories like, it was listening to the surround sound stereo in the red fire-bird to teasing the chemistry teacher with no sense of smell or the Home Ec teacher as we grossed the other kids out by eating brains and eggs. Greg was a one of a kind friend. During later years, showed me the foundations of a good catering company with a perfect tri tip plus the value of conditioning with weight training if you are going to keep up with service at an event. The one most strong memory was when I was diagnosed with MS in my late 20's. The voice on the phone said a short but meaningful sentence that I never forgot. "Listen, I don't care where I'm at or who I'm with, I'm your friend who will be there anytime. CALL.You're going to be OK" 30+ years later... well he was right. I've been just fine and although I hadn't spoke with him in years, I will never forget my friend. Rest well and enjoy the fishing in Heaven :) With sincere wishes of peace, Stephanie"
