AnneBurris Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I am also surprised about the quickness of his passing especially since he was able to get on the message board and type just yesterday. Its a blessing that he didn't go on suffering too long like my mother is now. My prayers are with his family. Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy RN Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I too am stunned. We were all on the boards just the last few days and he seemed to be fairly with it. I am so sorry for you and the kids. He was a great guy! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workinbuddy Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 I as well as our kids are so glad to see that dad has impacted so many people other than what is in the small town of Illinois. I myself as well as the kids have to thank everyone who is willing to share their diseases prognosis. My kids are just learning what all their father has had to say. I love you all for making this an easy transition for him. Thank you so much, Constance, Gregory II, and mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 So very saddened by the loss of this wonderful man. I just responded to his message yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the children during this difficult time. I lost my husband last December 15th so I know how hard it is to suffer a loss at this time of year.

DeanCarl Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 All I can do is echo the shock, disbelief and sadness already expressed. Greg was one of the first people I got to "know" on this board and had just answered a PM of his to me a day or so ago. My prayers go out to you and the kids also.

workinbuddy Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 At this point the kids are to sleep and I have a moment alone to let you all know if you haven't already, known Greg was my brains and I was his brawn. I WANT HIM BACK SO BAD!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I am new to the board and came here not knowing anything about LC. Greg was one of the people who always responded to my posts and answered my questions, no matter how small the question was. I was always so impressed that he would reach out to a stranger even though he had his own battle going on. Only a special person would do that. His children will carry on that spirit of giving. Hopefully Greg's family can find some comfort knowing how much he will be missed and how much he affected everyone here. He faced a disease head-on that many people aren't able to face - and he did with bravery, honestly and humor. I don't know many people (including myself) who could show the kind of strength and resolve he displayed. His strength and his humanity will live on inside the children he loved so much. My prayers go out to everyone in Greg's family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat straight up in my recliner earlier and told my 12 year old he needed to shave his mustache.
