Hey this is Ricky I used to work for Greg he was like a brother to me and my wife and my daughter we will miss him a lot our prayers go out to the to the family
To my family and friends
Words can’t express how I feel at this present moment. My newphew Gregory was a pretty neat young man. He was his own man who took responsibility for what ever he did. He will be greatly missed calling me Uncle Tony and Aunt Paula. I can hear his laughter and joy in his voice as he talked about his children, family, and friends. But God has a word of comfort for us during this time.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, reven as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so quthem also which sleep in Jesus wwill God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that ywe which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then gwe which are alive and remain shall be hcaught up together with them iin the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these
1 Thessalonians 4:13–18
The family is in our prayers during this time.
May God’s word comfort you
Love, Tony,Paula and family
