I was friends with Greg in school. We will all miss him terribly, but with his time he taught us all to appreciate things a lot more. He always had a great outlook on life and people. I pray for you, your family, and Brianna to be able to overcome this emotional time and be able to see all the good that Greg was able to do in his life and be happy. Even though we all selfishly still want him here with us I am glad that he is no longer in pain and is in a good place with his father and other passed away family.

My heart and prays go out to you and all of Greg's family and friends. I don't know him but he has touched me. God Bless

Que Dios los bendiga siempre...y que tenga en Gloria a su hijo Greg. El dolor de perder un hijo es el peor dolor en esta vida. Espero que encuentre las fuerzas para segir adelante y que encuentre paz sabiendo que su hijo esta con Dios sin mas dolor. Que descanse en paz.

I had a class with Greg and he was such an amazing person who never stopped smiling. He always made class so bright. I know he has taught so many people so many things and I am grateful that God let me meet him. My prayers go out to all of you. He will be watching over everyone. He will be the angel we all already knew he was.

Ann - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Greg will be missed...I am thankful that on one hand he is in peace now and not in pain...but on the other hand can not help but feel selfish that he will no longer grace us with his beautiful smile and personality. He truely is and will always be an angel. Always in my heart.

Ann: the following is a poem i found after the death of my mother from cancer last year. i hope this touches your heart as it touched mine.
________________________________________________

God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me"

With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay

A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.

God Bless

May God comfort you. Please know I learned a lot from your beautiful son, and I am all the way here in upstate NY. I so wish I could be there. Much love to you. My 33 year old stepdaughter, who is only 33 is fighting breast cancer for the third time. Her mother died at 59 of it. I love this girl so much. I understand! I will pray for Greg all night and as long as I am alive. Much, much love and sympathy.God bless. Susan Armstromng

Ann, I pray for the continued strength of you and your family, Brianna as well. Please take solace in knowing that you will never be alone--Greg's spirit and love will always be with you. How wonderful to have had the time you did to spend with him, by his side--he loved you so much (yes, he and I have had conversations...). I will never forget Greg, his cheerful personality and his beaming smile. Ann, you are truly remarkable--God Bless...

I did not know your son. I read about him and your daughter in the paper. I was sad when I heard about his passing on the news last night. Greg's story has made me appreciate what I have and not what I think I need. I will ask GOD to give you and your family the strength that you need during this time. You truly had a special son who taught this community how to appreciate what is important.

To Greg's Family and Brianna
I'm so sorry for the pain you are experiencing at this moment... Let your beautiful memories of your amazing Gregory comfort you during this time. I never had the pleasure of meeting Greg I followed your story through your website... What an amazing young man and what an amazing family he has... Know that he will always be with each of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Gina

To Greg's Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I read about Greg in the newspaper last June. Since then I have visited his website frequently. I lost a 5 year old daughter and know the grief you are feeling. Cherish the memories because they will guide you and comfort you.Greg's smile and heavenly wisdom will always be with you.

Dear Ann,

Words don't seem to come easily at times like this. I have never met you, but my son Cameron is a friend of your daughters, and knew Gregory as well. I lost my husband and Cameron's father to cancer 6 years ago follwoing a lengthy battle. Like many people I have followed Gregory's story hoping ... and praying for a miracle as no one deserved it more than Gregory, and your family. I have tried to imagine myself in your shoes.. losing my precious Mickey thinking that was the worst life could throw at me.. only to lose one of my children. I simply can't imagine it... maybe it's just too painful to think about.. perhaps I'm just too weak! I want you to know as tears stream down my face ..your courage and your family's love for one another has made me realize with LOVE anything is possible. I am amazed by your strength and courage. I pray peace comes to you and those who are suffering Gregory's loss.. what a beautiful soul... a true testamant to the human spirit.. and a mother's love!

Peace be with you & your family during this difficult time,

Cheryl

Greg,
We love you and we miss you. Praise God for his promise of eternal life through His Son. We know you are with us and are feeling our sorrow. We will see you when it's our time.

Ann and family,
You all are amazing and are blessed to have each other. We felt your love, and now we share your pain. Love never ends.
We love you all.
-Joe

Dear Ann,
I only met Greg this year, one day during lunch in the band room. I got to know him right after graduation, talking online. When I first wrote him, I didn't think he would remember me, but he said he did and that he thought I had a bright future ahead of me. Remembering that now, I intend to live my life to its fullest potential for good in memory of him. He brought light to so many people's lives through his personality, courage and kind smile. This community and this world is a better place for him being in it.
I cannot imagine what you are going through right now, or what words of comfort I can give. Like so many others, I miss him greatly, but I know he isn't in pain anymore, and that he is in a better place.
Thank you for sharing your story and sharing Greg with all of us. I pray for peace and love for you and your family.
Sincerely,
Sarah Anderson
