My brother Greg truly loved the Lord and was a child of God. The letter below is the last letter he wrote to his family. His wife gave it to us the day of and shortly after his funeral service. I pray by my sharing his thoughts with you, it will help you to focus on what is truly important in lifeour Lord Jesus Christ.

Im writing this letter to my family and friends. Its purpose is hopefully to edify you in the Lord.
I love you all.
Gregory
All of heaven began to celebrate. Cheers and joy rang
out from all the land of Heaven, celebrating the child who has come home
to be with the family of God. This is the joyous celebration every child
receives when one goes home to be with his Maker, his Savior, and his God.
In Jesus own words we read:
Luke 15: 6-7 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Our beloved Greg went home to be with the Lord this past Sunday, June 10th 2007. Greg was that lost sheep Jesus found. He no longer is suffering and every tear has been wiped away. God gave him six months from the time when he first learned of his illness, and he always felt blessed by God- even during this time. Greg was a blessing and inspiration to all who knew and loved him. I thank God for his life and his faith.
We are all that lost sheep, and Greg knew that. Greg would want us to remember and keep the words he wrote to us in his poetry. Burn them deep into your hearts and minds. Greg asked us to live our lives in Jesus. I pray we can live our lives in the words he wrote:
To walk in His ways is the greatest gift a man can possess. The joy of
the Lord is His ways established in us.
Then I can walk in love, through any darkness, this is victory in this
life.
Thank you Lord Jesus, Anointed One, King of Kings; you did this for all
men.
Amen
