Gregg the first time I laid eyes on you, I instantly fell in love with a little boy who had me wrapped around his little finger. You never showed nothing but love and respect toward me. You grew into this awesome beautiful man, with a heart of gold. I was always proud to call you my nephew. Today there is a hole in my heart that nothing will ever fill. I want to thank you for the two beautiful girls you gave this family. Thank you for your beautiful wife who will always be a part of this family. I wish I could wrapped my arms around Mel and the girls today and make all their hurt go away. My tears will eventually go away, but my love and memories of you will remain as long as I live. Your auntie loves you so much.

Jenn: I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend, but you are in my prayers. I am very sorry for your lose. Mark Coppi
Burrell there are no adequate speakable words to express during a time such as this. We can’t lean to our own understanding. We know Christ our healer hears our cries and His sweet tenderness & compassion will carry us through our darkest trials. Know how deeply you & your family are loved by so many. Greg was a precious blessing. God’s grace is sufficient for him .. he is in Christ hands now.. praying for you all .. hugs
After Tina’s funeral you were the one making us all laugh and helping us get through the day. It still seems so surreal that we were at your funeral without you there to help us get through that time too. You will be in our hearts forever. Love you cuz.

I still cant get passed the thought that you will not be here. I still catch myself dialing your number with the latest that I need to tell you. I miss my friend. You were that. Our true friend. I thank you for the times, the memories and the laughter.

I will remember your love for each other, like a beacon, shinning apparent to all, even to those who never knew you… RIP Greg, my deepest sympathy to you Melanie and the girls.
