Sandy my dear friend,it is surreal to take all this in ,knowing and seeing all your ups and downs and to see your Love for one another never weaken. The loss of Greg this week will take a while to absorb,just believe that the Lord will reveal deeper things to you as time goes on.I am at peace to know that he is with Jesus and is not in any pain.I believe the Lord is well pleased with your loyalty and devotion is the result of all this.Greg was a much deeper and caring person then most people would ever know,he will surely be missed.
He was very discerning of people,he had a heart of Gold.May he be at peace,and may you be comforted and covered in Yeashua jesus,
Love your friend Cyndi Floyd
