Tributes
"It all started about 5 years ago. We bought the house? next to the Jenson's?. We kind of kept to ourselves but that all ended with Greg coming over all the time to check out what was going on?. He always wanted to help out. I didn't even know his name for the longest time, nor did I know Mary's name?. But being neighbors without a tall fence was the best thing that ever happened to us. Greg was always there to help and to put his helpful two cents in. Brian and Greg spent hours together in the garage talking about how the motorcycle works and everything else. He mowed our lawn and Brian mowed theirs. When I needed an egg i didn't waste any time running to the store when they had one. Talks on the porch was a wonderful time spent together. ? They watched our house when we were out of town. He came to let Finley out to potty when we were gone to long. They called to let us know The garage was left open. Greg helped me change the locks and move stuff from the garage... twice. Greg was always so happy and was gracious to be helpful. And absolutely never asked nothing In return. He left an enormous mark on our lives. Both Greg and Mary for that matter. What wonderful neighbors could you ever ask for. We will NEVER forget you. Thank you for being part of our lives?."
