My heart is so sad for your family!! I have such fond memories of Greg….my maiden name is Leddy so we spent high school next to each other in our lockers…..I also had a crush on him and asked him to our Sadie Hawkins Dance our freshman year…..he said no 🙁 I got over it and we were good friends through our work in the SGA and shared friends. I am sending huge prayers to your whole family and will always have a special memory of Greg!! Wishing you all peace as you go through this extremely difficult time!!
My sincere sympathy to everyone in the family for your loss. Greg was always very kind to me even when I teased him. Love, Julia
