All,
Yesterday was really tough on us all. It was the first time forever that my entire family---all of my siblings were together for the first time without Greg. It was really sad for all of us and Mom. Toni is taking this really hard so it was really rough on all of us!
Today, the pain got worse. Greg's best friend in the world, for over 30 years, the "you didn't see one without the other" best friend, passed away. Apparently he was sick during the last week and would not go to the doctor. Rex was admitted to the hospital early this morning and died around 3:00pm. He apparently had pneumonia and despite what the doctors did, his body just shut down and he was removed from the ventilator around 3:30pm this afternoon.
This was another huge blow for our entire family, immediate and extended. Rex was considered one of us...he was my "Nuther Bruther". He left behind his wife, Nan, his adult sons Adam, Kelly and Mark, an adult daughter, Lynn, and his 10 year old son Austin Gregory, named after my brother. Nan and the children were still grieving for Greg and now they have lost Rex.
We all need your thoughts, prayers, white light and fairy dust for a few more days, please.
Kiss and hug your babies, your brothers, sisters, moms, dads,grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends in memory of Greg and Rex!! Life is fleeting and fickle and we never know when we might not get the opportunity to appreciate our loved ones.
Thank you all for your kind words! You have NO idea how very much KA has helped me in the last few days!!
Thank you!!
Holly
