Son I miss you everyday so much and love you. My thoughts are always about you and one day we will be together. I was just talking about losing you last night with my friends who lost sons too. It’s so difficult no matter if it’s been 9 years like today or 20 years. There was so much for you to live for and now Cole but you’re in heaven now and healthy and happy with God. I love you so much. Love Mom oxox

Can’t believe today makes 9 years since our goodbye:( never will a day pass that I am not thinking of you and wishing I could pick up the phone and call you or see you. There’s countless  things I miss about you and so many memories I relive from our life as siblings. I can’t remember a time you were not there for me, encouraging, guiding and making me laugh. The loss is devastating but I know it’s temporary because we have eternity in heaven. I’ll see you again big brother. Thank you for everything! I love you

Happy Birthday!!

Greg, love you so much! Thankful for the brother you were to me. It means everything to know how much I was loved by you. I still know that today. It’s hard to lose someone as special as you. You were such an example of working hard and playing hard. You did things in a bigger way than most. When you had a passion for something, you were all in. Especially for your family! You made sure everyone felt special in your presence. And to be made to feel special by you, was the greatest joy!  Love you so much❤️ Happy Birthday to the best brother, son, dad, husband and friend… You truly are forever missed. xox

Wow - it’s been awhile since I’ve written but definitely not a reflection of how much I miss you because that’s everyday. Crazy how time passes so fast, life changes constantly and I yearn for you to be here with us experiencing it all. I know you’re watching over us all and loving us from heaven but I sure wish we could have another day with you to talk, laugh and hug. Thinking of you so much during May and celebrating your birthday month, your life and legacy. Love you always big brother❤️

Greg ❤️

Can’t believe how fast a year can go. Here it is already the holidays. As we rejoice in the meaning and spirit of it all, there is always a painful emptiness we carry knowing you’re not here with us.

We are so grateful for all the many memories that we have of you. Those memories  will be shared for years to come, as we keep you alive in our hearts forever. I can still picture you so clearly in my mind and can hear your voice. I wish I could give you a big hug, sit and talk, enjoy a meal, reminisce and laugh…..I’d give anything.

Until we meet again…love you with all my heart big brother❤️


October 8, 2022
They say time heals all wounds but I don’t believe that’s always true. Time has only offered a bandaid to ease the pain of losing you….it still hurts and always will. Years may pass but I still think of you each and everyday. That will never change nor would I want it to. I love you always and cherish the memories we shared from childhood through adulthood. I love you with all my heart. You’ll always be my hero❤️ xoxo 

May 9, 2022
Happy Birthday to my big brother. The one I laughed and cried with, learned from and grew up with. There is so much to the time we shared, just so many memories. Always there to share in each other’s joy❤️ Thankful for what you mean to me. Every single day you are missed. Love you, forever

Happy Birthday Greg

May 9, 2022
Remembering you today (and everyday) my wonderful brother and friend, also thinking of all our family on this difficult day. Though we can’t see or hear you, we feel you and sincerely believe you are always with us guiding and protecting like you have always done. Happy birthday, brother! Miss you so much!

Missing you son........

October 8, 2021
My son I miss you so much but I know how happy you are. Not sick just joy in heaven. I talk to God every night to give you a kiss from Mom. I love you and you are always in my heart. I miss you so much son. 

xoxo Mom

Seven years

October 1, 2021
Can’t believe it’ll soon be seven years off missing you, your smile, your laughter and hugs. Best big brother in the world!

I’ll think of you each and every day for always! Our memories will be forever cherished!

♥️oxoxo

Thoughts of you tonight...

May 26, 2021
I miss you so much!  Macee sent me the cutest videos and pics of Cole:) he’s so amazing!! I think so much about what an amazing Grandpa you’d be to him. You’d be over the moon proud! He’d adore you!! My heart hurts knowing we don’t get to see that.  My heart hurts for Macee that you aren’t here to share this beautiful boy with her:( Her and Sean are such amazing parents.  You’d be so proud!  So many things I think about that you’re missing and I try to find comfort knowing you are seeing it from heaven and watching over us. Still, I wish I could talk to you, see you and hug you. I’ll never get over losing you my wonderful big brother!  I don’t think anyone that had you in their life could.  You’re one in a million:)  I told Macee I hope Cole has your laugh! Wouldn’t that be something?!  That laugh was pure joy and so contagious!  People always talk about that....your smile, laugh and twinkle in your eye. Mark, Cindy, Mom and I reminisce so much about you and the memories we shared with you. You gave us so much love and we miss you terribly. So much has happened since you left. I wish I could talk to you. I always loved to hear your thoughts and opinions.  You were so special and so important to me.  My life isn’t the same without you.  Love you so much and sending hugs to you in heaven tonight.  Goodnight xoxo

P.S.  Please give  Dad  a hug from us and tell him we miss and love him!

Together again

March 31, 2021
On 3/23/21 when Dad’s spirit moved beyond this earth and home to heaven I know you were there waiting for him. I can’t imagine the joy he had seeing Jesus and then you!

Like you, Dad was a warrior in the face of his illness. Strong, brave and loving us to the end. He missed you SO very much and he found great comfort in those last days knowing he was getting ready to see you again. 

It’s so hard to believe that Dad is gone now too. It hurts a lot. But, I find great comfort in knowing that you are together, no pain or suffering...just laughter, love and happiness that only heaven can give. You’re both watching over us now, our Angels!

I love you and miss you always xoxo



Thoughts of you brother....

March 15, 2021
I watched some old videos of you last night. It gave me such joy (and sadness) to see your beautiful face, laughing and having fun!! NO ONE had a laugh or wit like you!  You are so missed....there are no words to express how much.  Cannot believe its been almost seven years since you left. I have come to realize "time" does not define my grief. Time does not determine when its been long enough to grieve.  I will always grieve the loss of you. You were such a huge part of everything and a truly spectacular man. I miss you so much and wish more then anything you could be here.  Things would be so different...people would be so different. You were such a take charge man. You held people to a high standard and because of your honor, love and goodness, they wanted to be the best for you.  So many things you didn't get to do and that will always hurts me. What a cancer warrior you were!  Fighting so hard for life.  I know you are in heaven and would not want to come back now even if you could. You are truly healthy, forever young and in paradise. You no longer know pain or suffering. I will always take comfort in knowing this.I love you so much and think of you everyday.   xoxo

Love you always.....

December 9, 2020
Missing your beautiful face, smile and laugh with all my heart today and always.

Holidays are bittersweet without you. So many wonderful memories of Christmas together as kids and adults. You are so loved and thought of always.

xoxo

Happy Thanksgiving Greg

November 26, 2020
Happy Thanksgiving in heaven big brother! Missing you extra today:( Thankful for all the memories of Thanksgivings together.  You always made sure we had the right rolls:) No better food critic then you:) Half the fun was watching your reaction to each dish lol !!! Oh how we miss you Greg!!  Sending hugs up to you today and finding comfort knowing you’re enjoying a heavenly feast with our Lord and Savior.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS!!!
October 8, 2020
Sitting here this morning thinking about you and how it’s been six years since you left. I miss you so much so many memories. We were so close and there’s so many things I’d like to talk to you about. One thing that crosses my mind since it’s close to Halloween is how much fun we had getting ready to decorate the house on 63rd. It was so much fun! You took the day off school to make it perfect! I know you’re in heaven. I wish God would have let us have you longer. You would have been the best Grandpa to Cole. We will always tell him about his Grandpa Greg. I pray for you every night, for God to take special care of you and give you a kiss from your Mom.

I love you son,

 Mom

Missing you....

October 8, 2020
I can’t believe it’s been six years since you were taken from us way too soon. I miss you every single day. I was the luckiest girl in the world to have had you for a big brother. 
I still wish I could run to you for advice and guidance. I still wish I could call you and tell you good news and hear the excitement in your voice. Your support always made me feel invincible!  I wish I could pick up the phone and hear you say “what’s din” on your drive home from work and hear about your day and all of your funny stories. I wish so badly I could give you a huge hug and tell you that I love you. You will always matter, always be remembered, and forever be missed. 

XOXO


September 21, 2020
I think of you every day but tonight thoughts of you seem to be endless.  I don’t know if it’s the melancholy Fall always seems to bring or the holidays fast approaching but whatever it is, I am missing you more than ever. I think of all the things  I wish you were here for. Mainly the birth of your beautiful grandson. How you would adore him and how he would adore you! He’s so beautiful!  Oh the joy he would’ve brought to your life!!!! And the joy of seeing Macee as a mother. She’s everything you could’ve imagined and more.... loving and dedicated to her son.  I also think of everything dad is going through and how you would be our pillar of strength maneuvering through such a challenging and scary time,  You are so missed and so loved and no matter how much time passes, that will never change. I love you and I miss you with all of my heart. I pray you are looking down from heaven on us tonight just a little bit more then usual.  I love you
June 21, 2020
Happy Father’s Day in heaven big brother! 

Miss you always! You’d be over the moon today being a new Grandpa to little Cole! You’ll always be his guardian angel watching over him and protecting. 

Think of you everyday and love you forever.

A NEW ANGEL

June 19, 2020
On June 16th a beautiful baby boy Angel was born into our family.  I am certain that Angel was sent by his Grandfather Greg.  We are so blessed to have our heavenly Angel Greg and now we have a baby Angel in our lives.
The joy that has been given to all of our family is a true blessing.

Love,
Great Grandpa Jim
May 10, 2020
Woke up early with you in my thoughts and heavy on my heart❤️. It was your birthday yesterday. A day you were missed by so many as you are everyday. I planted flowers in my yard yesterday. Something you loved to do. Your home and yard was always so beautiful and welcoming to your friends and family. You took such great care of everything you did. I miss our talks and laughs. So many everyday ordinary events bring me back to you.  You were extraordinary! I loved being your sister and I loveyou big brother... Cindy

My Heaven Valentine

February 14, 2020
It is one of those days when you would make the day special for everyone in your family as well as your close friends.  All of your family is remembering the Valentine Day's past when you were here to wish us all a Happy Valentine's Day.
We love and miss you every day and will be celebrating you on this Valentine's Day, our one and only true Valentine.

Christmas Eve

December 24, 2019
Like every night before going to bed I make sure all the doors are locked.  For the past several nights before I lock the front door I have stepped outside and look to the North from our front porch at the night sky.  Most nights it has been clear so I can see many of the stars.  Tonight as I looked to the Northern sky there appeared to be a star brighter than any I had noticed in the previous nights.  My wishful thought was that it must be a sign from the spirit of my precious son Greg from Heaven.  If it was then it filled my heart with happiness and the love from Heaven that was always the love he gave while here on earth.  This may seen odd to some but for me it was a sign that love is still coming from Heaven for all of Greg's family.

Love to all this Christmas !!



CHRISTMAS

December 17, 2019
Just 8 days to Christmas and one of the happiest days in our lives.  Happiest days because we all spent it together from the day you were born into the days when your brother Mark was born, when your sister Cindy was born and your little sister Michelle was born.  Every Christmas Eve we would get a bucket of KFC chicken with the extras and have a wonderful time together eating the chicken and thinking about the excitement of Christmas morning.
This Christmas morning I will be thinking about those wonderful times.  It goes without saying that your Mom, Mark, Cindy and Michelle will also be thinking about those Christmas times past and missing you and the love you had for all of us.

Love,
Dad

November 15, 2019
MY THOUGHTS ARE OF YOU TODAY AND EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.  THERE ISN'T A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT YOU ARE NOT IN MY THOUGHTS AND MY HEART MY WONDERFUL SON.

AS THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS APPROACH ALL OF YOUR FAMILY WILL BE THINKING OF YOU AND THE HAPPY TIMES WE ALL HAD OVER THE YEARS YOU WERE WITH US ALL.

LOVE AND MISS YOU BEYOND MERE WORDS.

DAD
October 8, 2019
Brother ~ I love you and miss you so much. Leaning on our wonderful memories today and the love I was so blessed to have from a big brother like you. I can still hear your voice and your laugh. Heaven gained a legend!! 
October 8, 2019
There are so many memories of the 55 years I had you in my life.  I miss you and love you each and everyday and know that some day we will be together again.
Love,Dad

Thinking of you son and missing you with all my heart.  Not a day goes by I don't think of you and the wonderful son I was so blessed to have. I love you so much.
oxox Mom
September 23, 2019
As October begins to approach I find myself thinking of you even more and more. I can’t believe it will soon be five years that you have been gone because it still feels like yesterday. My heart is so heavy when I think of you and how much we all miss you. I don’t care how much time passes life will never be the same without you and you will be missed every single day.

Most days I’m able to smile remembering all the wonderful things about you. But there’s also days I feel so heartsick that you aren’t here. That you didn’t get the chance to live and enjoy your family and what you worked so hard for since age 15.  You worked so hard to earn your security and retirement. You had plans for that time in your life and you talked about it so often....all the things you wanted to do, places you wanted to see.  Its seems so unfair you never got that and had to spend so many of your years battling cancer. I pray about this a lot and search for strength in knowing that you’re in heaven and wouldn’t come back even if you could. That those extravagant things your years of hard work are affording now wouldn’t matter because you’re in the ultimate peaceful, amazing place with our Lord.  Still it can be very difficult because I’m here and I don’t understand everything that you do now. 

Greg, there is not a day that passes that I don’t think of you.  Every sunset, every time I’m out in nature, a certain song, a milestone in life, all the day to day things.....always wishing you were here. I love you so much.  You were such a wonderful big brother and I miss you with all my heart forever and ever!

9/11/2001

September 12, 2019
Yesterday I was thinking about 9/11 and Greg and I were camping in his travel trailer at the Oregon coast.  He had a beautiful trailer and kind of a reddish SUV he pulled it with.  When we got up on the morning of 9/11 Greg turned on the TV  and we thought it was a movie playing on the TV but it was the real thing.  I will always remember that day and that I was with my son.
Love you,
Dad
August 28, 2019
Mark continues to place flowers at Greg's place at Evergreen and last week he brought Charlie his pal dog.  Greg would love Charlie as well as Emilee's dog Tug and Cindy's dog Roo just as he loved every dog he ever had.  Although he loved all of his horses and dogs he loved each and every one of us more.
Each and every day we miss our Hero and remember all the wonderful things he did for his family.
Love you,
Dad  
July 25, 2019
The summer days are getting hotter and it reminds me of the above ground pool Greg and his family had on Norway Drive.  It was fun and exciting for the girls to splash around in the pool.  The time came, however, when Greg and I took down the pool and hauled it away in his pickup to the dump.  This and so many happy memories are of the times we all spent at the beautiful place on Norway Drive that Greg loved but more than anything we miss and love our Greg.
Love you,
Dad
May 9, 2019

It was 60 years ago today that our Greg came into this world at just after 10 am in the morning weighing at 5 lbs & 71/2 oz's.  From this bundle of joy he grew into the most loved and honorable man that is loved and honored even more to this day by his family and friends.  It is without any doubt that we look forward to the day that we all are with him in paradise for all eternity.  

Love,

Dad

Greg,

All my thoughts are of you tonight on this eve of what would have been your 60th birthday. I know you’re celebrating in heaven and nothing could ever top the beauty of that. You were surrounded by so much love on earth and I know it’s no different there.  Still, I can’t help but feel sad and wish we could be celebrating together:( We miss you everyday! 

Macee and I were reminiscing about you tonight and sharing some of the amazing memories we have. You brought such joy and laughter to all our lives. It’s so hard for us to be without you. I get so sad thinking about so many things....how much I wish you were here to see Macee as a young wife and know Sean. How I wish I could have seen you as a Grandpa and for you to have grown old with me, Mark and Cindy....the fun we would have had! I think about how much I wish I could have seen you retired, traveling, having new adventures and experiences, getting to be with your daughters and family.  I think about all your nieces and nephews growing up and how I wish you were here to see their accomplishments. They’d all be so proud to have your approval! You always made them feel so special. They loved you for that and talk about it to this day.

So often I will see something or hear something and wonder what you’d think. I can hear the words you’d so often use “absolutely” “phenomenal” “outstanding” “what a trip” and so many more.  It always makes me smile:) You truly were one of a kind!  

Happy Birthday in heaven my sweet big brother❤️

 XOXO

May 8, 2019

Son as I lay here tonight I think back 60 years ago you were getting ready to come into this world. Your Dad and I were so happy and excited!  Now you will be celebrating in heaven.  My oldest son I love you and miss you so much.  My heart hurts all the time. You are always on my mind. I wish we could celebrate together.  I’m comforted knowing you are with your Heavenly Father and all your family in heaven.  I know you’ll have a wonderful day!  Your mom will be sending you big hugs. I love you

Easters Past

April 21, 2019

Happy Easter !!

I have the memories of Easters past and the video.  The video shows my sons Greg and Mark in their pajamas one early Easter morning in our back yard on Knott street looking for the Easter eggs their Mom and I placed earlier.  Those were wonderful days and times when we were all together.

Today I know that my son Greg is celebrating in heaven with our Lord and that someday we to will all be there celebrating with Greg and all our loved ones and the Lord.

God Bless,

Dad

St. Patrick's Day

March 15, 2019

This March 17th is the day every Irishman celebrates their heritage.  Our family has much Irish in them and our Greg will be celebrating with his Irish with his great Grandma Anna Teresa in Heaven with all of the other Irish who have gone on to eternity forever.

I wonder if it is possible to get a green beer in Heaven. 

Love you son,

Dad

March 3, 2019

 My thoughts are with you my son on this 3rd day of March.  It is a sunny day in Idaho and I know you are in a beautiful place but I wish you and I could be together just one more day.  Your whole family misses your smile, laughter and hugs. Life is not the same without you my son and I miss and love you more each day.

Dad

January 22, 2019

My days are filled  with all the happy and wonderful thoughts of you, memories that never fade but grow more real each day.  Not a day goes by that I wonder what it will be like to be with you once again in paradise.

Just you my son,

Dad

Thanksgiving Eve

November 21, 2018

All my thoughts are of you tonight. I can close my eyes and still see you walking into Cindy’s on Thanksgiving with that grin and twinkle in your eye. Oh how much you are missed!! You lit up the room when you walked in and no gathering will ever be the same without you. No matter how many years pass it still feels like yesterday you were here. Tomorrow we will think of you, miss you and recall all the memories we are so thankful to have of you. 

I love you

Holidays

November 20, 2018

You are our heavenly angel and I feel your love always.

Dad
