My heart breaks for the loss of dear Greg. I have fond memories of watching him grow into an amazing young man. It was such fun to practically share a backyard with the Howe´s. What a source of pride he became for his family as he became a wonderful young man totally devoted to his Mom, sister Cheri, and loving husband to Edwina. His love for Benjamin was limitless and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. May he Rest In Peace and May his family find strength as they deal with this loss.
