My Friend Greg Summers
Greg was truly a blessing to all that knew him, and I
am grateful to have gotten to know him through phone
conversations and emails. He was always cheerful.
Greg only complained but once to me about his illness, just a couple of weeks ago. Most folks did not even know how ill he had been for so many, many years.
As his son Mark has said, we will never know how sick and ill he felt; but when he wrote to me a few weeks ago, that he was tired of being sick, and that sometimes he felt so worthless. I emailed him back, that he was far from worthless, and was an inspiration to me, as to how to be patient and kind, and that I wished I could be more like him.
Greg Summers was, and is;
A testament of strength, courage, and decency.
He was also a testament of how a person should be, as a Christian; to live and be like Jesus, in His kindness and compassion for others, without guile and malice.
May God be with the entire Summers family in this time of their mourning.
To Greg, my FRiend;
I know you are in Heaven now, my thoughts go up to you:
I know you have a new and perfect heavenly body now, and are free of pain and illness, and are enjoying the beauty and riches of Heaven, far beyond what our earthly minds can even begin to comprehend.
Thank you for being my friend, Greg, and until we meet again;
"When we've been there,
Ten thousand years.
Bright shining as the Sun;
We've no less days,
To sing God's praise,
Than when we'd first begun."
God Speed, my FRiend. I will never forget you.
Your testimony of this man is moving. It is good to know there are still such people around.
