News on Gregory
« on: April 22, 2014, 07:28:07 AM »
 I have received news from Cheryl, Gregory's wife and she has informed me that Gregory is not well at all, he suffered another major stroke. To explain it better I have pasted the email I received from Cheryl this morning, all we can do is hope and pray for Gregory to recover.

Des.
 
 

Des.

Please excuse my slow replies to your e-mails. As I know Gregory has told you of his many health problems over the last few years. I have more bad news to pass on, Gregory has had another major stroke. Thankfully after two months he has been released from the hospital and is currently is a patient at Stroke Rehabilitation Center on the coast.We are all praying for a for a full recovery but we all know a complete recovery is not likely. I have been told by Gregory's doctors not to expect too much but they confident that in time recover some of his mental and physical abilities.



Knowing my husband's will and determination I know he'll give this a good fight to recover as much as possible as soon as possible. Please say a little prayer for him and feel free to let all of Gregory's friends know what has happened  and pray too.The prayer's will be appreciated by the entire family. Thank you for being a good friend to my husband.

This is truly sad news.  :(

Perhaps there is some small gesture we can do for him, maybe to lift his and Cheryl's spirits a tiny bit. I was thinking of something that could go to his room, "signed" by all his forum friends from all over the world.

Thank you for posting this, Des.  I was afraid of this.  I remember Gregory's last stroke.  He came back from that one enough to participate in the forum, although he had trouble working on his models.  Please pass on to Cheryl that she and Gregory continue to be in my prayers.

Des, please forward my best wishes and hopes for a recovery for Gregory - I didn't know him too well on here, but he always had time for an encouraging word for me.

Very sad to read this - Gregory is a real gentleman and always took the trouble to comment on all members build logs and completed models.

My very best wishes to Gregory and his family for a speedy recovery.

Regards

Dave

I have written to Cheryl asking if she doesn't mind sending a mailing address for Gregory, if she does it means that we can send cards etc direct to Gregory and hopefully lift his spirits. I will keep you informed.

Very sad news indeed. Thank you, Des, for passing this on to all of us. Greg is very much in my thoughts and like all, I hope some comfortable degree of recovery results for him. A true Gentleman whose contributions here have been significant. I believe the suggestion to send him messages of encouragement and comfort is appropriate with his Spouse's agreement.

Such sad news, but at least we have some answers. My thoughts and prayers go out to Gregory,
Cheryl and their family.  I dearly hope he will recover in time.  It would be very good if
his forum friends could be able to send cards to him.

Sad news and I'm sure all those he has brushed shoulders with on many forums over the years will know him for the gentleman he is and wish him all the best in his recovery.

I hope his wife Cheryl and himself get some joy from knowing how he is missed by us all and how we all think of him.
