Rest In Peace Greg. We had so many memories together. From growing up next door to each other and being friends our whole lives. I don't think we even ever had an argument. From kindergarten at Forest Rd all the way to Kendrick High, we spent our lives together, laughing, getting into trouble and growing into men and learning to explore this world.I already miss you tremendously.
Rest well, My brother.
