  3. Linda Mason
    My name is Linda Mason and I will always remember how grateful I was to your dad for helping to cope with Gregg's passing. Many years ago when Gregg had his last days in Merrick Manor it was your dad who called me and helped me in his time of sorrow to accept the things I could not change. Gregg and our family had become good friends and I still miss him today.'
    May you find comfort in knowing that your dad has been reunited with your mom and with Gregg and that they will be watching over all of you as your guardian angels.
    GB and may you find peace in knowing that others care about you not just now but always.
