Greg gave me the incentive to want to get better. I was very ill and in horrific pain. I never thought I would make it, but with Greg's help and encouragement, I was able to handle the most difficult situation. He drove me to want to live. When I had no appetite or desire to eat, as I was on IV feedings, Greg would sit in the room with me and encourage me to eat. He would not leave until I was finished. He was a constant incentive for me to live. I trusted him implicitly. I knew he seriously cared and wanted me to get better. He gained my confidence and was like family to me. Now that I am in a rehabilitation facility recovering and getting stronger, everything I do is with the constant encouragement of him in my thoughts, even though he is not here.
