My Condolences to the family , Greg was once my neighbor and we worked at Cherry Point for many years together. My prayers are with you all. Jerry Jackson

Condolences to the Burney Family Gregory a great SOLDIER who served our country was full of life a Gentleman who walked very quietly. He was also a great dresser with a great smile! Yes a limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that say, "Grieve not for me". Remember the best times, the laughter, the songs. The good life I lived while I was strong. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. Yes, loved ones may leave this world but they will never leave our HEARTS.

To my sister, Diane Burney and family: No words can describe how wonderful Gregg was. He was a caring and thoughtful brother-in -law, devoted husband and family man. My mother and father adored him and I will really miss his beautiful smile, his jokes and kindness towards others. R.I.P your sister-in-law, Harriette Richardson Andrews.
