To The Christmas Family:
May God continue to watch over you all. May your hearts only ache for a little while. God is busy behind the scenes preparing you to move in his Grace. God has taken his son Greg to a much better place where He can continue to watch over Greg! Joann you are God special daughter! He did not bring you this far to leave you! Continue to remember the special times both you and Greg shared and smile because he's smiling too!

To the Christmas Family: You are in my prayers. I have known Greg since high school at Andrean. He will truly be missed. May you have the peace of God during this trying period in your life. Take comfort that Greg is now in a better place and that he lived his life on earth for this day - the day to spend eternity with his heavenly father.

I don't know how to say good-bye to my oldest and dearest friend. He was more than a friend; he was my brother. He was godfather to my daughter; another son to my mother and father; and a big brother to my younger brother. We have shared childhood fantasies and our adult dreams for our children. He gave my daugther someone to call daddy besides my father. She will miss him dearly. As will I and my family, because for over 30 years, he has been part of our family. Chris and I agree, now you can finally get much deserved rest. See you and "Ma Jo" in a little while. We love you Gregory D. Christman Sr.!
