What a magical time it was growing up in South Shore with you and your family and mine. To experience again all the great times with you and all would be a golden opportunity. You added a special kind of joy and now the angels can smile with you forever. Good night, Elaine.

Rest in peace, old friend.  You may be gone but not forgotten.

I miss you pop pop, hope you have a nice life in heaven. Love Mia

my deepest sympathy to the family of Greg. Who would ever believe that he would love to spend time having a cup of coffee and having a chat.  God bless you and the wonderful children and grandchildren you leave to carry on..Maureen

Brother Greg:
Neither the spoken nor written word can express what we all feel. You had a great run in life and missed very little. I know for certain that you are now in Heaven and you have been thru Hell.
Adios.
Your brother.
Nick

Uncle Greg..... I bet you're eating lots of ice cream! I'll miss you forever!!!!

Although words seem to say so little I hope they help in some small way to ease the sense of loss that you are experiencing today.  Hold fast to your cherished memories.

Shepis family...memories of him will always be there...hold on to them and keep speaking of the good times shared together. Pray to God to help you each day...Psalms 65:2..and he will give you the comfort needed.

What great memories of my friendship with the Shepis m family in Tucson and Chicago

~May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
All my love to the Shepis Family, and my admiration and respect to a wonderful man.

Im am so sorry for your lost..but there will b a time when you will be a ble to see your loved ones again...Matthew 24:14

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
