Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Greg. Greg was a cherished Father, Son, Brother, and Husband, who brought so much love and light into our lives. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

As we come to terms with Greg's passing, we are faced with the difficult task of arranging his final farewell. We want to give him the dignified and heartfelt send-off he deserves, but unfortunately, the financial burden of funeral expenses is overwhelming for our family during this already challenging time.

Hello, my name is Hailey I am choosing to speak on behalf of my Mother, Teri. This beautiful women walks this Earth pouring love out to all those who cross her path. She is a woman who ha faced many adversities, what would normally shake your soul cold, she fought through and let the love in her heart build the path she walks on today.

Despite her own problems, she always put others before her, especially her kids. She focused all her time and energy into both her kids. She loved us deeply but I could tell her heart yearned for more.

As we got older and our lives became busier, our time as a family was far and few between. She was a proud mom but I knew she needed her partner in crime.

Finally she had met someone, she met the love of her life, she met Greg,

Greg loved my mama and it was because of him I saw the light in her soul reignite.

My mother, quite like myself, is a feisty firecracker, who loves and loves hard. Are took her broken heart and nurtured it. His love was pure and his heart was gold.

I know how important it is to take time and grieve the loss of those you love and my mom lost her soul mate. She has given the shirt off her back, always had a door open and a listening ear, she would give you the world even if it meant hers crumpled.

So I am hoping to alleviate the stress of funeral costs, help her with some bills and groceries, and cover a portion of the travel costs for both her kids to be with her at during this time.

I included one of many beautiful pieces of poetry Greg has written:
