To the Entire Meise Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. And I too am deeply saddened by his passing. I will miss him. Greg was such a good person. He was kind and generous. He was so good to mom and dad and also to me. Mom shared so many memories of him and her. I have so many pics of him. He too recounting the memories with me. And then when she passed he stood by me. We decorated that house inside and out for Christmas. Had a lot of laughs trying to do that on the outside! He would visit and i would try to keep the chicken dinners like mom and he would have and we would just talk. I will miss him. All of you have my prayers. Much love to you all. Tammy

To the Meise family, Thinking of all of you during this time. I remember the days of summertime fun in the alley with the motor bikes and dune buggies, bike riding in the neighborhood and sledding at East End. Greg was a cool guy, and I know he will be deeply missed! Prayers and hugs! Maria
