To my dear cousin Greg, you will be sorely missed. I'm just so sorry we didn't get down to see you and the rest of the family. Your sense of humor is one of the things I will miss the most about you along with the most AWESOME fish fries I've ever eaten! I won't be able to eat fish again without thinking of you 😢 RIP My sweet Cousin '"😇

My heart breaks. Greg was one of my kids when we lived in Elaine several years ago. He's ate many of my biscuits back in the day. He always called me Mama Mary. And Mama Mary would get onto him just like he belonged to me. He never not one time disrespected me and would probably get someones tail if they did. Many prayers are being lifted up for this family along with love. God bless all
