I can't begin to tell you how uplifting all your kind words were to our family.
Your words warmed our hearts.
Our hearts were full of love and sorrow, but the memorial service planned by my brother-in-law and his family was comforting and such a celebration of his life. The tears flowed, yes, but the laughter rang out far more than the tears. And there was music,
much music - from The Beatles to Christian Contemporary to Dr. Demento!
All of the brothers, their wives, nieces, and nephews were able to have this time together along with Worker Bee's mother.
Rest in peace Greg.
Thank you, again, so very, very much.
Glad to hear everything went well.
