I was very sad to hear of Greg's death. Greg and I went to Junior High and High School together. He was one of the genuine "nice guys". My sincere sympathy on your loss.

To my dear old friend Carol,
Remember when stories began, "Once upon a time" and they all had happy endings? I know you will some day smile again. Just think "pink" about the beauty shop we once designed. My deepest sympathy.

My sympathies go out to the entire family. Greg and Gary were both friends of my mother, Sande Skinner when I was young. I remember Greg as a wonderful, fun, caring person--lots of laughs and silly jokes.
