I'm not even sure who is handling everything concerning Greg's funeral, but I just wanted to say how sorry I am about his death. It seems like another lifetime ago that Greg and I were divorced, but hearing of his death has affected my whole family in a very deep way. It's wierd. He is still a part of our past, and part of life lessons for me. I have always felt so sorry that he wasn't able to conquer the deamons that took control of his life somewhere along the way. I know that addiction is not an easy thing to overcome. I lost my sister, LeeAnn, to liver disease on December 18, 2001 (it seems like yesterday - the pain is still so raw) and there couldn't POSSIBLY be many things worse than watching someone you love suffer for a lifetime and then... It's hard to even put it into words. Just know that my family is so, so sorry for your family and our prayers are with you.
