Bessie Ann, I am so sorry to hear about Greg. It has been a long time since I have seen you but I remember the good times as a child when many Saturday mornings meant being at your house sitting on the floor watching westerns and cartoons. Please know that I am thinking of you and that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I loved to hear Greg laugh. I wonder what he and Arnold are doing now? My prayers and thoughts are with the family. With much love.
To my cousin Greg’s family, my wife and I am very sorry to hear of his passing. Just found out my Uncle James passed away recently and now his son. We will remember the families in our prayers. God Bess you all.
