I just wanted to thank everyone for their very kind words, thoughts

and hugs last night, they were greatly appreciated and helped me

through a very long and emotional night. I am so grateful for the

love and understanding my wonderful CEDA family offers so generously

and freely, I really dread to think where I would be with out you

all.

The time of Greg's death was probably one of the worst in my entire,

if short life so far. Within three horrifying weeks in late 1999 I

saw the man I love die, lost a good friend in an earthquake and

suffered the first dislocation of my knee that would begin my

slippery slide to disability. My life changed forever in what felt

like the blink of eye and I learned the very hard way that nothing

can ever be taken for granted.

Greg was an incredible person with an amazingly generous heart. That

why I know he would admire, respect and love you all just as much as

I do. I often feel that in some ways he is still watching over me,

so who knows maybe it wasn't just coincidence that I found myself on

here last night at my lowest ebb. You all helped to remind of why

Greg was so special and what his most important message was - to

live unlimited inside regardless of the limits outside.

I will never fully get over losing a special part of my life, as so

many of you have also stated I don't think you ever can. But I know

that I will also never forget his gifts or stop receiving from the

wonderful lessons he taught me about life, love and beyond. Greg

will always be a huge part of my life and will continue to inspire

me to my dying day, I only hope and pray that some day I can pass on

the gifts, lessons and inspirations he gave me to people I care for

too.

Love and hugs....Jo
