Greg was much loved and will be missed by our church family. Greg was alway sitting up towards the front and raising his hands to praise and worship His Lord Jesus Christ. We will miss you Greg. Lou Hill
Dear Carlene: I have often wondered how you are and what you are doing. So sad to hear of Greg’s passing. I remember him as a lovely little boy. You may know that we also lost Milton, two years ago…found deceased in his bed. Of course, life is never the same. I would like to talk to you sometime when you are in the area. If you read this, call me, 206-619-9414. My thoughts are with you at this tragic time. God bless.
