Greg you brought so much love, joy, and compassion for those less fortunate. Halloween, traveling with family and the true love of your life, Ron. Your relationship set an excellent example of living life to the fullest.
As parents, we are not supposed to outlive our children. However I am confident Greg will be waiting for all of us with his signature smiles, wearing some of his favorite designers that represented Greg’s since of style, something he learned from the most important woman in his life, Lucille. My heart breaks for all that knew and loved Greg. Please remember that each and every person, fortunate enough to have known Greg during his short time here with us, Greg loved and cared for us more than we may ever know. Gone too soon little brother. Until we meet again.
Greg was such a unique person and I will always remember the good times we all had together. Ron, I know you and Lucile took very good care of him in his last days. He wanted to be at home with Ron, Max and his mother by his side. You made sure his wishes were honored and now his pain is over. My heart breaks for all those who loved Greg. He will always be with us in spirit.
Ron, Lucille and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Greg’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With deepest sympathy to Lucile and Ron. So sorry for your loss. Greg was loved by many and will be missed by many.
Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs.
My condolence to the family . Praying for peace and comfort
To my dear friend Greg, we will meet again on heaven. Love and blessings to Lucille, Ron and family.
For the prayers, the friends and loved ones that came to Greg in his final days, I thank you with all my heart. This meant so much to him, as he struggled with a burden I cannot fathom. You meant so much to him. Your pouring of hope, love and compassion; this was something, possibly the only thing that could have mattered to him.
In the final weeks of his life, there were visitors nearly every day. These blessings were not easy for you to bring, but I imagine you accomplished this with such a love and lightness of spirit, that the burden only lightened your burden, as the love burned within your giving heart!
May I ask for one last thing? That your prayers continue for Ron and Lucile.
With my most profound gratitude,
Edward Munoz Hobbs
