Dear Chastain family,
I was so shocked and sad to hear about Greg`s passing!
I have so many great memories of Greg going all the way back to his high school years. He was really a kind soul always ready with a smile. I always had the feeling that he was happy, especially when he was beating me at Pool! He will be missed that is for sure.
I wish all of you peace and love. Your family will forever be special to mine.

I am so thankful we got to spend some time with Greg a couple of years ago. I am even more thankful that Greg was a Christian and he is home with the Lord now. My heart is heavy for your loss and I pray for a peace that can only come from the Lord yet – God works it out to the good for those who love God.
