Guest Book

It's taken me a while to write something about my cousin Big Gregory. I guess I didn't want it to seem real. I get up every morning looking for a text message with a scripture, words of encouragement, pictures of his children & wife or just a little chit chat. I will miss that dearly. He was a joy to be around & always kept us laughing when ever we were in town. We live in Houston & as we grew older the trips to Tallahassee became less but the love never stopped. My sincerest condolences to the children, wife & entire family & friends of Gregory. Sheryl "Sherry" James. (Leroy James daughter)

My sincerest condolences to the family of Greg Hodges. We grew up knowing him as cousin be Gregory. As children when we were bothered by bullies we would tell them we were going to get our cousin Big Gregory to beat them up. We live in Houston but we felt his protection that far away. He was not only a family member he was a friend. And he always had an ear and advice for you. We loved him and will miss him greatly. Love to you his family.
