He tried his best not to show any signs and had I not known he was sick, I wouldn't have guessed it. He was such a hopeful and optimistic person. He will be missed dearly. My prayers to you, his family and his friends. May Greg watch over us all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011079176380672577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275528035704689172.post-11571469045968947042013-12-03T11:28:20.208-08:002013-12-03T11:28:20.208-08:00May God watch over you during this time Greg as I ...May God watch over you during this time Greg as I know he is keeping you very close to his heart.

I'm so amazed by your journey and by your attitude through it. It also has been quite a while since we've seen each other, but I've never forgotten your sense of humor or your courage and ability to fight through a situation. Nothing but prayers and absolute comfort for you, Anna, and your family.<br /><br />Another Kuemper Classmate,<br />Steph (Seidl) BauerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329476349513852372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275528035704689172.post-27563166229252925162013-12-03T06:37:05.262-08:002013-12-03T06:37:05.262-08:00Anna, thank you for the update.

You made my time in graduate school a lot more fun, I just wish I could have been there for you the past 10 months. I remember sitting outside of your lab everyday for about a week eating Easter eggs until they were gone, talking about what the heck we were going to do as graduate students and after. We could never have imagined the bumps and twists that were to come. All my love to you, Anna, your family, and all of our friends in DBBS.

I'm sure like every one else following Greg's blog, I was hoping for internet headlines to mess up his storyline and announce that a cure had been found before having to read this post. By sharing so much about his journey maybe Greg sparked that one idea with that one researcher out there who can find a cure that he too was trying to discover even before his own diagnosis. Love to you and all of Greg's friends, family and caregivers. May you find peace and comfort in each other, and in knowing that Greg made a difference.PalaceandVinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152253650930103543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275528035704689172.post-6572579380847566972013-12-02T12:45:51.995-08:002013-12-02T12:45:51.995-08:00Oh, Anna - I'm so sorry.

We have said so many rosaries and chaplets of divine mercy for you guys. Just want you to know how much we love you and you are a very special cousin. A memory I will always have-I was 6 years old, we were at the Sibbel farm for christmas, and you were just born. Uncle Ron and Aunt Renee let me hold you as a baby. It was the first time I had ever held a baby and still remember holding you in Grandpa and Grandmas living room on their couch, feeling proud that I held a baby as you quietly slept. Just wanted to share that early memory. God Bless you and your family.
