Guest bartziggiesmom Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 It will be three months March 9 since Greg went on a journey to a better place, he is in no pain now. He fought the battle until the very day he didn't give up. I am very proud of Greg, he reached out to others to try to ease their pain. He was a 24-7 everyday fighting for life. I hope that some day they find a cure for the C's as Greg called it. It is getting easier for the pain I have in my heart for Greg knowing people like you reach out to each other. Greg called you his family. Love Greg's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betplace Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 bartziggiesmom, Bartziggie was onee of the first to selflessly reach out to me when I came to this board dazed and afraid from my recent DX. I was grateful then and I am grateful now. Nothing can really take your pain away, but you raised a fine son ma'am! Blessings Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Dear Greg's Mom, Greg was a wonderful person, and I often thought of you, the woman who raised him. I miss him. And I want to say "thank you" to you for helping to form the character of such a kind hearted soul. I hope you will stay with us and share your experiences with others. You have a lot to offer. And maybe we can give back a little in the way of comfort to you. Best Wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Dear Greg's Mom, Welcome to our group. I want you to know that your son is missed here and that we cared deeply for him. His passing so quickly and so young was a real shock. Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carleen Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi Greg's Mom, I am so glad you came here. I know that the pain and loss you must be feeling is huge. I can't begin to imagine. But I also know that your heart must be swelling to the point of bursting with pride for your son. He was a true hero. He faced this battle head on and fought with grace and valor. He also didn't focus on his one trials, but reached out to help others along the same path. I struggle with this post, as there just are not words enough to tell you how much I respected and admired him. He had such a warm and positive personality and a way of making me feel hope and strength when I thought there was none left. At times he was my angel online, and I am thankful to you for raising such a wonderful person. The world is a lesser place without him. We've all felt the pain of his loss here, as we lost a much loved family member as well. God Bless you Carleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyCW Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi, I'm glad to see your message. I am the "big sister" of a lung cancer survivor here, DavidC. I only know your son Greg through reading his old messages, as I only joined this message board in January. But I know that Greg and my brother were friends, having "met" here, and I know that David took Greg's death very hard. I can see that your son meant so much to so many people, and that he really had a great personality. I just wanted to add my voice to those thanking you for raising a great man. Your family is in my prayers. BeckyCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO_Sugar Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Greg was a very special person who took time to help out the "new guys". It is folks like Greg that make this group as welcoming and friendly as it is. He is and will be missed. God Bless, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Greg inspired me also when I first came to this board with news about my dad. He pushed me to ask the dr about PET scans when the oncologist didn't really think it was necessary. He was a wonderful, caring person and helped many people here. May you find peace knowing that you raised such caring children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bartziggiesmom Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I am overwelmed at eh messages I received after I posted on here. It's really nice to hear from people with good hearts filled with so much love. I wish I could carry on Greg's wish and work he was doing, I have the back bone but not the wisdom and knowledge that Greg had. He even called the radio station and newspapers, he made the headlines in the paper. Once again thanks everyone for your messages.
