Letter to Greg from Lynn, His Mom


Dear Greg,

It is hard to believe that you left us 6 months ago.
A lot has happened in this time.
Everyday is so painful without you.
I struggle with determination to
have the strength to go on.

I think I maybe even a bit mad at you,
just 15 minutes before you left me,
we talked on the phone,....
you said o.k. .....see you in a few,
it didn't happen.

Why did you have to leave me so suddenly.
Life was falling into place for all of us.
I was so excited about college for you and
all of the accomplishments you had.
Why did you leave it all behind?

Now, I'm getting your keyboard on your laptop
wet with my tears....I know you would not like that.

Kim and I and Jenna released balloons
on your birthday from the cemetery....
mine and Kim's got caught in a tree......
eventually they would break away with a
gust of wind that came out of nowhere..

I tried to decorate for Christmas and did
struggle through it....
but without you it is meaningless.
I know you would want me to be strong for Jenna...
but it is extremely difficult.

I did not send cards because it
is to painful not to include your name...
tags on gifts say this gift is
being given in memory of Greg.

I wish I could take your place and let you live
because without you it is very hard
to find a meaning to life.
You are in my thoughts every second of my day
and that is the way it will always be
until we meet again.

Love you so much and miss you so dearly.....

Love Mom

A Letter from Jenna (Greg's Sister)




Dear Greg,

I wish you was here right now.
Everything is boring with out you.
I miss you so much.
I know your an angel. I bet its great.
I wish I could visit you.
I miss your jokes.
I'll always remember you Greg.
Your always in my heart, know matter what.

Merry Christmas Pickle,
Love Jenna





A poem from Jenna to Greg
(Read at Greg's Service June 18, 2002)

Jenna wrote this poem for Greg in July 2001
for Greg when he had left to go to college.
Greg would return home and decide to wait another year.
So, it was read at Greg's Service.
I guess Jenna was prepared.

Lord Bless my brother for all the things
he takes the time to do.
The thoughtfulness he puts behind
each act of kindness too.

Bless him for the loving way
he brightens many days
with caring and encouragement
with compliments and praise.

Bless him for his faith in me
his words that help me grow
for being just the closest friend
I think I'll ever know.
I am going to miss you Greg.

Love, Jenna



Greg's and Kim's Card to Jenna
Congratulations from Elementary to Middle School.



The night before Greg died he and Kim went shopping
and bought this card for Jenna.
Jenna would be advancing from Elementary school to Middle School.
Jenna had to work hard to do this.
Greg left this on the table for Jenna to open
on June 14th before she went to school.
He also bought her a new play station game to go with the
new play station he bought for her on her birthday on May 2nd,
and a necklace with the letters JENNA.
Jenna said to me, Mom I will thank Greg when I get home from school,
she never got to. Greg was killed at 4:30 on the 14th.

Also in the back seat of Greg's car
was a new Thermos for Mike,( Greg's dad)
that he bought for him for fathers day.
Greg never had the chance to give that to him.

Here is the card:



Now the inside:







Letter from Mike, (Greg's Dad)

Dear Greg,

It is just so hard to believe that you
have been taken away from me.
Why such good people are taken away so early in life.
You worked so hard in such a short life.
The things you did for your age were amazing,
you helped the rich, the poor, the young and
the old it made no difference to you,
all people were important to you.

You became the leader and the young man I visioned.
I will always embrace our last hug,
it will remain with me for the rest of my life.
The morning of the accident when you called to trade
your bike and make arrangements for us both to go get touring bikes,
I knew everything would be wonderful.....
we would bike all over all summer!

Sometimes it was hard being a Dad....not having one myself...
I know now it is much harder trying to be a dad without you.
I know you would still want me to be there for you
and also to give Jenna the same chances
you had in life and I promise I will.

I will always remember you.....
Love you always.....Dad
PS.....Kim will be looked after always!

There is another important letter to Greg,
It is from Kim, his Love and Soul Mate.
Because of their special relationship,
there will be a separate page just for Kim and Greg.
It will feature a special song for them,
and an original poem by Ravenna Falcon.
