Happy Birthday Little Greg, miss seeing you when I go to mom and dad's house. Enjoy your birthday day with your mom. Love you 

Wishing you a happy birthday in heaven, Little Greg.  I know it's a blessed one.  Tell your mama hi for me.

I certainlyt do miss you my friend but we will see you again very soon my freiend.

What a wonderful promise of a great reunion day ahead for your family . To be able to see his smile , hear his voice and feel his arms wrap around you ❤️ 
its seems like forever until then . When that day comes, that will be your forever ❤️
Love you all and keep pressing toward the prize... Little Greg is cheering you on

Well Daddy, I graduate High School this year . Every single day that goes by all I think about is you not being able to see me walk across the stage. I'm really not myself , normally I am very strong about you being gone; but the closer and closer I get to graduation , I get more and more upset . It will be hard to see all the other kids be able to run up to their Dad , and hug his neck while they are in the "Yes , I DID IT" moment. So instead i will be looking up and telling you "Hey Daddy, I did it". I know that you know I need you right now , and I wish you would come to me as much as you have been all the time . If there was one thing that I could wish , and make come true, It would to hear your voice . I know you would tell me to be a big girl, and to stop crying, because yes as I am typing this I am bawling like a baby . I just am having such a hard time making peace with the fact that I can't hear the words every child wants to hear from their father , and thats I'm proud of you. Even though I know you will be proud of me , I still wish I could hug your neck and tell you how much I love you. You know , it's funny how often i even remind myself of you. Everyone tells me I act just like you. It is really pleasant to know that even when you're gone , you still live through me and Katie everyday. I'm sure I will find myself here , every time I accomplish another life goal , telling you all about it . I don't want to say that i never think of you, because always in some way you are on my mind, but lately you are all I think about morning to night . I know that I'm rambling , and going on . I just wanted to talk to you. Every time you are in my dreams , all I can do is just cry and cry . It feels like a miracle . I miss you so much Daddy, give Grandma a hug for me . 
Xoxo, Karlie

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I know you guys mised little greg so much. If I could wish him back I sure would. My own so was not here at all for our Thanksgiving. Even thow he can come back there was a emtyness there. I wish I could have been there more for you guys you are my family now there is one gone and I can;t bring back the lost days for not being there. I feel deep down Little Greg is a angle with Jesus in heaven and Grandma Reba too.One day we will join them. God bless you guys.

To Uncle Greg and Family. I know the hurt is still there. I feel it to. I thank of all the times we use to come and see you guys. We all do our best raising our kids. But at times we have to turn it over in good hands. I had a rough time with my kids to.I could just wonder at times bad things could happen to them.We wonder and always will wonder why does it happens to use. A child is a special gift from god no matter how old they are.Little Greg will always in our hearts and memories. And you will parts of him thew his kids. They are so lucky to have great Grandparent and Aunts in there lives. Little Greg was special and will always. And Michelle and Sherry are special and your grandkids .Have a great time with your love ones because you never know what could happen.Little greg you are missed so much. You are our Angle watching over use all.

To Gregs Family-his mom, dad & sisters and to his beautiful daughters Karlie & Katie and to Erin who will always held a special place for Greg in her heart.

 

I had the opportunity to meet Greg one time at church and yes Mr Shoemaker I agree with you he was a very nice looking young man and he did have a charming smile. I am sure he is charming everyone in heaven with that smile. I really never knew Greg personally but I have heard so many wonderful things about him from Erin & Karlie that I feel like I knew him. How blessed I have been to have gotten to know Erin, Karlie and Katie and your son through them. How blessed you all were to have him in your lives; even if it was for a very short time and how blessed you are to have his two daughters with you all who will remind you of him all the time. That smile, that wink, that special look, the color of his eyes.

I do not know what it feels like to loose a child so young, I can only imagine. I have two boys (31 & 22) and I thank God for them everyday. Like you said Mr Shoemaker, things have not always been easy with my oldest son either but what a blessing they are to us what a "Gift from God they are" and those grandbabies...how precious they are.

We never will understand why, all we can do is trust and believe that our Father in heaven had a reason for bringing this young man home so soon. My deepest sympathies are with you all. I pray that God will be with each of you,  as to continue to move forward with each new day and that he provides the comfort and guidance that you need to carry on.

Hey Little Greg - everytime I visit Mom and Dad I think I see you driving down the road- then I remember where you are and my heart becomes sad. Then I start to think about you talking with Grandpa and Grandma Meadows and I become jealous. I know your family misses you very much! I know the Great Comforter has given them the strength to keep on going!

Hey Greg.  I am missing you really bad today.  Everything I see and everything I hear reminds me of you.  I wish you were here so I could give you a big hug and tell you how much I love you.  You know I was always proud of you and told you you could do anything you made your mind up to do.  I always believed in you.  I hope you really knew that.  Wish you were here so I could throw some dishes at ya.  I love you Greg the Great.  You are great to all of us and always will be.  Can't wait for the day we will all be together.
