Sometimes you find you have no idea how much someone means to you untill they are gone. You have no idea how special they are and how much you depended on them untill they are gone. I have found myself in this predicament. My wonderful uncle was there for me so much more than i realized. I never realized how many pictures I had with us together. I remember the day he was diagnosed with his bone disease, the day I graduated college. In my euphoria I had no indication he was suffering in pain. He sat in a broken chair for two hours as he waited to hear my name called. He was so proud. It was only after the ceremony was over and we had gone home that my husband told of what he had endured for me. Just because he loved me. I don’t know if I ever thanked him or told him how much he ment to me.
My uncle was the most caring and honorable men I have had the privilege
to know. I love you Uncle Greg! See you soon.

I was reading the tri-city ledger, and it said that his memorial was being held at Faith Bible Baptist Church.

Greg sang in an Ensemble that practiced in my home as a teenager. He was also one of the men singers in Chorus at Century High School where I taught. His voice was beautiful!

The first time I knew he was interested in Police Work was when I visited a friend who had a break-in at her home. He was dusting for fingerprints on the screen door that I was entering. He was still in school so I assumed that was his own Finger Print Set. He had plans for the future already in his heart.

He will be missed by all who knew him.

Greg was great at his job with Prevention Services,and he was determined to do the very best he could. He was well liked by the people at the mill that he came in contact with on a daily basis. It was hard to watch his health go down,but when he came by two weeks ago to say hi to us,he looked better than he had looked in ages. I can still remember what he was wearing.I would have never known it would be the last time we would see him. He did not let his divorce from my daughter cloud his relationship with us as his former employees.He was just that way. I know all his children are devastated,but God’s grace is enough to carry you through. Jerry and Terri Sanders Prevention Services,Century Fl.

To All who knew and loved Greg. I want to tell you something about the kind of person this man was. Greg was disabled from a certain type of bone disease. It was hard for him to get around. He found out I was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. It took him all of 2 minutes to pack his clothes and move in the house with me and his brother Mike in North Mississippi to take care of me until I could take care of myself. He took me to my treatments, let me cry on his shoulder and stood beside me holding me up the whole time. Greg and I were already close but we developed a bond after that that was unbreakable. Greg was one of the most unselfish people I ever met. I don’t really know how we are going to make it without him, but I’m sure God will show us the way. Aaron, Amie, Dusty and Cody was the most important thing in Greg’s life. He put off his hip surgery because he said he couldn’t miss his “baby doll’s” ball games. I will miss him sooooo very much. But I thank God for every blessed moment we shared.
Love Always
Your “Gal”

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Brandon, Dusty, Aaron, Cody, and Amy. We have very fond memories of your dad. He was a great brother in law to me for many many years. He definitely loved his kids, for that you can be VERY proud.

Much Love,
Aunt Cathie
