  22. Dear Donna, Nathan, Grace, Cora, Henry & Elise,
    It has been a wonderful experience to get to know Greg as our families have come together in recent years. Greg has been such a friendly and truly decent man who held his family as his primary focus.
    Although he battled very hard to stay longer, he was sadly taken way too early. Those beautiful memories of experiences together will be with you all forever.
