Your presence we miss, Greg.
Your memory we treasure, Greg.
Greg, we will Love you always,

After his ashes were scattered, "Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust" from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer was read in closing: "Forasmuch as it hath pleased almighty God in His great mercy to take unto Himself the soul of Greg, our nephew and cousin, here departed, we, therefore, commit his ashes to this ground that he, Tom, Grandpa and we love; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change the earthly body, that it may be like His glorious body, according to His mighty works and promises."
