  1. We were saddened to read of Greta’s passing. As a fellow worker at Taylor I held her in high regard and admired her friendly, upbeat nature. My wife was also a long-time friend. We will miss her. Our condolences to the family.

  2. With sincere sympathy to my first cousin, Lewis.

    I attended your wedding and am noting that Greta, Faye and I were born the same October.

  3. Greta was a wonderful friend of the community. Her passing will be greatly missed. She was always full of smiles!

    May God Bless,
