God had you in the palm of His hands before you were even born. He gave you two incredible parents and an amazing sister to help guide your way when you walked this earth. We know God STILL has you.
In our memories, you will always be the boy with an intelligence and humor that made an indelible heart print. May God bless your family as they make their way without you.
Loss of our Gregory is so tragic, and I wish I could find the right word for it. There is no such word, I can offer you my love And support. You are not the Family but IT feels like it.
The fond memory goes back from 2011, when I was always sitting next to Gregory for High Holidays AT Shirhadash, Los Gatos. He was so loving and like an angel and totally filled the absence of my son and daughter. Thank you Gregory for such unforgettable moments.
So Doug and Beth, you've raised a buitifull son, can be proud.
When my mom's yehrtzeit was held in 2013, his presence gave me the incredible comfort, as coming from the best doctor in the world.
The last time I saw you Gregory was at my house on Tursday, February 23, 2017 after 3:00 PM. You were with your loving mother, and my best friend Beth. It was a short visit, but my crepes filled with ground walnuts
And pot of home made soup was attracting force. You really liked this
European dessert. Later Beth texted me that both you and Doug actually loved them.
And the fatal March 3rd, Friday 10:33 am when I was waiting for Beth to come and take some photos with your sofisticated camera of my dead's holocaust diary, the worst, unimaginable news came about your premature passing.
R.I.P. My loving Gregory.
So many wonderful memories of Gregory......carpooling to Walden West, family trip to SF during holidays, using his photography skills and big brother patience for photo shoots for Ali and "the girls", experiencing fine dining with my girls, and keeping the Barschs in the 21st century with technology.
Mostly I will treasure Gregory's kindness, generousity, curiousity, and unbelievable loyalty as a friend to Sarah and Elise.
Thank you for sharing this amazing young man with us. Lots of love, Mary
Rest in Peace Gregory, you'll always be missed dearly.
I am so sorry for your loss. Heart feels heart aches for you both.
With a heavy heart...
With love and blessing
Cousin Debi Lee Tario
The house has been very quiet lately.
We miss you Gregory.

Trying as hard as we can to replace all the sadness of this day with all the wonderful memories we have of you. We hope you are flying over and keeping an eye on us even if we can't see you. And how excited you would be for Ali and her new digs in one of your favorite cities. Send love to Scooby and Grandma Lee and Papa and so many others who are keeping you company up there.
Love, Mom, Dad, and Ali
