The older I get, the farther away from God and religion I go. I have been touched by the negative aspects and it is really hard for me to see much good in it anymore.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311876972459432789.post-24854534471534049452013-12-14T23:40:46.110-08:002013-12-14T23:40:46.110-08:00Thanks Nicole.

He is all the things that you mentioned and more. My heart breaks for you and your family. I know he was special to everyone in your own "treffie" like way. He loved everything and everyone all the time with all that he had, even if he wasn't always thrilled with their decisions. I remember the talks in Guthrie Center, him walking up the road to help shovel the drive, probably not because he wanted to but because it was the right thing to do. I think driving to Atlanta to watch Kip was an experience. LOL! He loved you, he never stopped loving you, and will continue to do so. No one can take away those happy memories, and now he get to watch you make more with your son and family. No doubt he's laughing, and agreeing with you when you make your silly but "educated" decisions.nurznickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13298212398649494761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311876972459432789.post-43002367634354809782010-04-18T14:14:04.800-07:002010-04-18T14:14:04.800-07:00I couldn't agree with you more, Ruth.I couldn't agree with you more, Ruth.vegasviaiowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940427921275678010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311876972459432789.post-45949784525483202342010-04-17T10:41:04.389-07:002010-04-17T10:41:04.389-07:00Very nice.

I remember watching both of you play everything growing up. I especially remember Treffie and I watching you in the state championship playing for Perry during your senior year. Those were good times.vegasviaiowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940427921275678010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311876972459432789.post-47848280854219622852010-03-30T20:55:29.382-07:002010-03-30T20:55:29.382-07:00Greg, it took me a really long time before I was a...Greg, it took me a really long time before I was able to face my own mortality and sit down and read this, but I'm so glad I finally did. It was a very fitting tribute to your brother, who was absolutely, without doubt, one of a kind. I have so many memories of growig up with your brother....virtually all my sports memories include him. Many included you as well. I was so glad I got to see him at our 20 year class reunion in 2008. He looked great and I was so happy to see that. You know our birthdays our coming up, April 14th and April 16, and no matter how far away from Panora, Iowa we are these days, I will always think of your brother fondly this time of year...always have. Much love, Greg. ~Todd WinterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311876972459432789.post-86513563574457690332010-03-19T13:57:29.973-07:002010-03-19T13:57:29.973-07:00wow...you definitely have a way of exuding your th...wow...you definitely have a way of exuding your thoughts and emotions - he would have liked this post from his little brother :)Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038862572106057576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311876972459432789.post-693859369171545892010-02-02T08:30:42.138-08:002010-02-02T08:30:42.138-08:00Greg, What a wonderful tribute to Treffie.
