      So sad to hear that our dear cousin Greg has died. We have wonderful memories of fun times, especially of him allowing my then very young son to steer his car whilst Greg managed the pedals. They went from Blue Lake all the way to Uncle Alfred’s cabin. Yes, he always brought the joy!
      May God comfort your sorrow with the hope of God’s promises.
