Greg's Blog
Gregory Weber Lang Foundation
Sunday 9/9/07

Yesterday morning Gregory slipped into a coma and remains in a very peaceful state as I write this blog.  I am by his side as I promised him I would be and our entire family and network of close friends and Hospice of Naples are making him remain comfortable.  We have all said what we have needed to say and, as I have said before, it's now between Gregory and his God.


Please continue to pray for Gregory to pass into Greg Sr.'s arms, to hear his Grandpa Dick tell him how proud he is of him and to see his Uncle Pat again.  There are so many new members of his adopted family that he has yet to meet also and I know that Grandma and Grandpa Lang and Grandma and Grandpa Bodell are going to love him!  We all ache inside at losing our son and brother but understand that he needs to go be with his God to learn of his new tasks from heaven for eternity.  Thank you for your continuing prayers.  It's hard for me to ask for everyone to pray for something so horrendous but it's what's best for our beloved Gregory at this time.  I know everyone will understand my request because you all love Gregory also.


Go be at peace Gregory.  I'll love you forever, forever I'll love you.  As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

" I am Jesus’ little lamb,
Ever glad at heart I am;
For my Shepherd gently guides me,
Knows my need, and well provides me,
Loves me every day the same,
Even calls me by my name.

Day by day, at home, away,
Jesus is my Staff and Stay.
When I hunger, Jesus feeds me,
Into pleasant pastures leads me;
When I thirst, He bids me go
Where the quiet waters flow.

Who so happy as I am,
Even now the Shepherd’s lamb?
And when my short life is ended,
By His angel host attended,
He shall fold me to His breast,
There within His arms to rest. "

I wanted to share with you the words to a beautiful song by Chris Rice, called Untitled Hymn. It always brings Gregory to mind. Fly to Jesus, Gregory, and live!!

Weak and wounded sinner,
Lost and left to die,
O, raise your head for Love is passing by,

Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus and live,

Now your burden's lifted,
And carried far away,
And precious blood has washed away the stain... so

Sing to Jesus ,
Sing to Jesus ,
Sing to Jesus and live,

And like a newborn baby,
Don't be afraid to crawl,
And remember when you walk sometimes we fall... so

Fall on Jesus,
Fall on Jesus,
Fall on Jesus and live,

Sometimes the way is lonely,
And steep and filled with pain,
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain... then

Cry to Jesus,
Cry to Jesus,
Cry to Jesus and live,

O, and when the love splills over,
And music fills the night,
And when you can't contain your joy inside... then

Dance for Jesus,
Dance for Jesus,
Dance for Jesus and live,

And with your final heartbeat,
Kiss the world goodbye,
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side... and

Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus and live,

Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus and live.

I was sadden to read of Greg's death via the Naples Daily News. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
Greg was an amazing young man. May you find peace in remembering and celebrating Greg's life. Rosa

This made me cry. You are an amazing mother, and you are so strong. I hope all the best for you and your family, and also for Gregory.
I will pray for you here in New Zealand :)
