  3. Dear Teresa, deepest sympathy on the loss of Greg. May God grant you and your family comfort and peace as you remember and hold dear the good times which will outnumber the not-so-good times. I remember the early days when I first met you both as co-volunteers for ACS…..Greg was passionate about his work and a willling volunteer.

    You & I had some fun talks in the office while I waited to see Greg. Thanks for those times. God be with you,
