Message:
To all of you who loved him and knew him well, Disan aka Retribution passed away today...his heart just stopped and there was nothing that could be done for him...we will mourn the loss of him....Sonya, ~hugs~ My deepest sympathies to you....

At least you will live the rest of your existence within the shadows my Chylde.
I had hoped we could share more time together.... there are so many things I had wanted to say... I don't have words enough to tell you how sorry I am... for the things never said never done.
I have failed in being a good Sire for you...
I hope that you.. can live with that... 'cuz I will not be able to live with it...
Shit my Chylde I can't believe you no longer exist... I spoke to you this day... you were so alive... not one single sign you'd... just die from me...
How do you expect me to.. live with this?
My tears will never stop for you, Chylde.. maybe my heart was too closed up, too...
I am so sorry... my love, trust and satisfaction with you shall follow you always.

I know why I love to play a vampire... and it feels so ironic now...
There is some kind of romance with a vampire... the pain, the passion and the non-passion...   a vampire lives forever, learn and loves... hurts and is in eternal pain...
A vampire is beyond death, she has passed it and survived... a lifeless body yet so fully   alive... its romance and... has always been so much appealing to me...
In these days, when... someone passes away, someone so young and so...
Its so ironic that what I find so romantic, when it happens, when death comes knock on the   door.. where is the romance, where is the beautiful pain? The only thing happens is, there is   only empty inside, there is nothing left... all the dreams there were just say poof and are   gone... as am Greg...
I know he's out there now... I can feel him out there, he watches through the stars... there is   no heaven no hell, just eternity...
There are so many things I want to say to him... and what hurts most...
Its too late

It pains me a great deal both ic & ooc to think of you gone my dear. One day I'll teach you all about everything we never had the chance to. You'll forever be in my thoughts lovey. 
With love,

  Who Wants to Live Forever 
  There's no time for us
   There's no place for us
   What is this thing that builds our dreams,
   yet slips away from us
   Who wants to live forever
  There's no chance for us
   It's all decided for us
   This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
  Who wants to live forever
   Who dares to love forever
   When love must die
  But touch my tears with your lips
   Touch my world with your fingertips
   And we can have forever
   And we can love forever
   Forever is ours today
   Who wants to live forever
   Who wants to live forever
   Forever is ours today
   Who waits forever anyway?

Greg I don't know what to say. I never thought I would have to face something like this. But I   gess once again I have been wrong. You where one of my closest friend's here from the start   what about a year and a half ago. i will alwaes rember those night's when it would be just you   and me up all night till the sun shown without a thing to do. I also never realy told you thank   you for teaching me how to start my Web page. For now that is the feald of work I am going   to go into. I owe it to you for planting the seed. I will miss plaing Quake with you over the net   and having to let you win at times. Greg I just don't know what to say other than I will miss   you so much as will the rest of us. I can tell you right now the hole Chat house won't be the   same without you for you where a part of every one of us.
   I ask those of you who read this if we could please organise a onlign mamorial service for   Greg. But i don't know how I should go about doing it. Or geting a room to put us all in at   once. *sniffles*
   Well I have said my pice for now. I will miss you brother.

Dearest heart of mine, brother to me from across the miles. You have made this world a little brighter with your laugh, you have touched many in heart and spirit. For one year you gave to me unconditional friendship. Together we have shared good times and sad. I will always remember you, for you touched my heart. I was so looking forward to seeing you in May. Now, I will have to wait a lifetime to give you the hug and the kiss I have wanted to give you. For now, rest in peace and comfort in the Lord's hands. My heart rejoices in knowing that you are in Heaven. You were an angel here on earth and now, you are an angel in Heaven.  Greg, I could never seem to thank you enough and to tell you enough how much you meant to me. I love you darling.  ~kneels and blows a kiss unto Heaven~ Your memory will live on and on.

Greg:
   You were one of the first i met, when i first arrived. We talked, fought alongside one another, i   spoke with you, when i needed advice, and trusted you like no one else. Now, i'll miss you,   like a brother, and will always do so, both IRL and IC. For Disan, it was the brother i never   had, someone to watch my back, when needed, and even someone to talk to, about the land   we both loved...Greg, rest well, and rest in peace....someday, we'll all get back together, and   finish both the game of cards, as well as the long-awaitd reunion we all planned to hold. We'll   miss you.

I knew Disan/phinelle/retribution/greg, not as well as some of you, but he was a friend. I guess what i want to say is, we'll all miss him. One of the final measures of success in life, is how people react to ones death. I can't remember precisely, but i it was either emerson or thearou that said 'that someone breathed easier, because you have lived, this is to have succeeded' well greg succeeded. I don't know what its worth, but i'm sure our hearts are with his family. i'd like to put up a memorial in his honor. please contact me with anything you would like put up there with it.

~walks quietly in and reads Celtique's words in silence, the tears still falling freely~
~sitting with legs hugged tight and head bowed, I read them over and over~
~smiling softly through the tears, I realize there could be no greater tribute to a friend well loved~
Be at peace, Greg

To Greg,
He was always here for me no matter what. He was like a father but more. He was more than just a friend. He was my best friend. The one I could turn to when I needed help, when I needed to talk, or when I needed to be cheered up...... No one...... No one could ever cheer me up like he could. He put a light in my life. He always helped me though all my toughest times.... Like Veda (I don't know if I can use her real name) did. She was always here for me too. They were like my parents... And now that Greg is gone... Its like I lost a part of me...... I love you with all my heart Greg and I already miss you insanely.

Dear Greg,
Though you eyes are now sealed to these words, my heart can do no less than to pour them out, that others might see in my words the truth of you, and remember you, and that you may never fade from our minds. To me you were my brother, and I yours. From the first day I met you till the last I spoke to you, you were forever there for me, telling me your heart and I returning mine. You were brother, friend, councilor, patient, giver, reiciever...you were my reflection, similar to me, yet distinctly you. And I loved you for it.
I think of you with fondest memories: Late night poker with the men, conversations on love, war, polotics and the latest South Park cartoons, living through fights with our loved ones, depressions over life, hitting each other with peach pies, nerf bat wars, food fights, sparring, joking, caring, loving, and just being who we are and were, being alive, and living life to it's fullest together.
And that is just it....that is who you were, and are in my memory. If there was one thing that Greg/Disan/Phinney/Ector was, was the indomitable spirit that prevaded and surrounded you, infecting others with a desire to join you in the guts of life...that being to just Live and Love Living.
Thank you Greg, for being my brother. Where blood does not make us brothers, our spirits bind us closer than any bloodline could. You are gone from this world...but you live forever in love in my memory...Farewell my brother, and may the peace and joy of the otherside only open your newest and greatest adventure to you...
With more love than my meager words can express,
Frenzy, know best to you as your Brother Nate

               ~soft sighs~  I recieved in the mail this day a short note and copy of Gregs memorial from his Mom........I felt I needed to share it with those who knew and loved him.......

Dear KeeLeigh;

Thank-you for your cards and words of support, I know Greg had many friends on the internet that were special to him, and gave him joy.......
Greg had major heart problems all his life and many surgeries to correct the defects.  His death was very sudden and unexpected.
We all are still in shock, and miss him greatly, as I assume many of his friends also do....
My daughter Jessica will continue to moniter his e-mail for a while should anyone wish further information

reguards;
