Gregory B. Sutherland - Мемориальный вебсайт онлайн

It’s been 10 long years since losing you. Not a day goes by that you’re not thought of. When I think of all you’ve missed the last 10 years my heart breaks yet again. Tracy‘s Mattie’s with 2 beautiful daughters. Christian will be graduating college this spring and then moving off to Philadelphia with her boyfriend, you would so love him, even though it’s not official yet they’re planning their wedding already. You know she still sleeps in one of your shirts after all this time. Lane made it through high school lol, was worried there for awhile. He’s working in the oil field now, living on his own trying to make his way in this crazy world. His girlfriend has a 1 year old, he’s so good with her. Of course he and Tracy and an you as an amazing role model. Ruby is still Ruby she’s graduated high school and working now, wants to be a dog breeder of all things. These are only a few of the things weve missed having you a part of. We know you’re looking down from above. We love and miss you still 

Dearest Greg,

Hope that at this very moment, you, Shane, Randy & Daniel are doing something fun together.  I know you are all there in Heaven.  You were good buddies here on earth, and I know you are there too.  The Holidays are coming up - I'm missing Shane very much - and I'm sure your family is missing you, too.  Those are the hardest times!  The feeling of you're not being there is very painful for your family this year, I know.  I have never gotten over Shane not being here - don't believe I ever will, honestly.  A very large part of our hearts went with you boys.  We miss you so much!  But you did leave wonderful memories of being wonderful men - and always doing for your family and others, as well.  I think of you often - as I do Randy, Daniel, and of course, Shane.  I can have the peace of knowing I will see all of you one day - and that it will be the most wonderful day!  I send my love to all of you.

Love,

Miss Libby

Dad, you're so
Loving and kind,
And often you know
What I have on my mind.
You're someone who listens,
Suggests, and defends
And dad you're one
Of my very best friends!
You're proud of your triumphs,
But when things go wrong,
You can be so patient
And helpful and strong
In all that I do,
Your love plays a part
There's always a place for you
Deep in my heart
And each year that passes,
I'm even more glad,
More grateful and proud
Just to call you my dad!

I find myself wondering...
Did I give you your due..
For all that you've done for me
Did I ever thank you?

For all of my childhood memories
For helping me deal with life's stresses
For helping me accept my defeats
And celebrate my successes?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
Good judgement, courage, and being true
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared
Did I ever thank you?

If I have forgotten, I'm thanking you now
You taught me right from wrong....
I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated
I hope you, instinctively, knew it all along.

Happy Fathers' Day, Dad

Dearest Greg,

I'm sorry it has taken me so very long to write on your site.  Hearing that you had passed completely devastated me.  First Shane's best friend during high school, Randy, then Shane, then Daniel, then you.  It's really hard to understand.  I don't try to anymore.   I remember when you came to Shane's funeral, and you said to me "Miss Libby, that could have been me in that casket."  Those words have played over and over in my head. Also, Daniel had said to me on a trip when we drove down together from LA to IN "Miss Libby, if I die before my parents, then there is no God - take my word for it."  Well, he had already lost his 2 other brothers.  I know one day we'll understand it all, but it is difficult right now.  Greg, you were a truly dear, wonderful friend to Shane.  You were like to peas in a pod.  You took to each other right away when you both started dive school.  I remember how you both came by the office to see me when you got back in from a dive.  You were one of the nicest, most sensitive, good young men I have had the pleasure of knowing.  I know Shane truly loved you like a brother.  I know you shared some good times - and some bad times - but you were always there for each other.  It was a great comfort to me knowing Shane had you for a friend.  I know all you boys are in Heaven now, and that gives me great comfort.  Also, in knowing I'll see all of you again one day.  Greg, I truly believe you left your mark on this earth - and you will never, ever be forgotten.  I have truly thought of you more often than I can say.  It has been difficult for me, to tell you the truth.  I see your handsome face - and then I see Shane standing beside you.  I sure do miss you, but when the day comes and we see each other again, you're gonna get a great big hug and kiss from me!  We'll all shout and sing and have a party!  My thoughts and prayers are with your family daily.  All I can say to them is "stay strong", because Greg would want you to, and you have to for others that need you, and know that you truly will be together again in the most beautiful, wonderful place of all!  This is what I believe.  Hugs and kisses.

Love you,

Miss Libby 

Greg,

   I don't know where to begin. You were the piece of me that I didn't know I was missing until I found you. You completed me in a way that I didn't know until now. Greg, you were more than my husband, you were also my best friend.

   We shared so many good times and memories and I'll always cherish each of them. There are so many to chose from, but there are some that stand out. When Grandmom came down to visit, you made her your special seafood gumbo. You, Chrisitan and Lane all in the kitchen acting silly, while you taught them how to make your gumbo was such a site to see. The three of you crying while cutting up the onions was so funny, you guys always picked on me for the same thing and then when it happened to you, you all didn't think it was so funny. Then there's Ruby, you would get so aggravated with her sometimes, but she had you wrapped around her little finger. She could be in trouble with you one minute and the next she'd either be cuddled up on the couch with you or telling me she was heading to the "disco" with Greg and out the door the two of you would go. The kids have so many happy memories of you, they talk about them all the time and about how much they miss you and the special times they sheared with you, the traditions you had with them and the things you did with and for them.

   As for me, I'll never forget the day you proposed, if you can call it that, lol. We were walking around the mall, waiting on JR. and Michelle, when you dragged me into the jewelry store and said pick one, I was speechless. One month later you made me the happiest girl in the world. Six months later you devestated me when you decided to transfer to the National Guard and go to Iraq. But that's the type of person you were, you felt the responsibility to go. And although I didn't always understand or agree with that decision, I fully supported you in it. You sacrificed unselfishly and that just made my love, admiration and respect for you grow even more.

   Then there are the trips we had. Cozumel was such fun, out at Bob Marley's beachside club, you decided you were going swimming, walked right out onto the beach and changed into your trunks. You were like a big kid once you got into the water, it was so fun to watch. You were the same way in Princess Cays, when we went snorkling, I'm so glad that you talked me into doing it. Thinking about how you came alive under the water and how excited you got about how much I enjoyed snorkling makes me smile. The best part of that trip was climbing the waterfall in Jamaica, I watch that video whenever I need to hear your voice or see the light in your eyes.

   Greg, we had so many great times, you introduced me to new things that I'd never had tried would you not have encouraged it. Your adventure through life became mine and I'm so glad that I got to share it with you. I'll never understand why your adventure here with us had to end so soon, but I know that your greatest adventure has just begun and it'll last for eternity. I Love You, Miss You and I'll always cherish every moment that we shared.
