Just wanted to let you know we're thinking about you down here in Alabama on the 1 year anniversary of your death G. I miss saying g-money when you would answer the phone and getting that chuckle out of you before the end of our conversation. RIP Buddy.

Traci and I are up late tonight thinking about you my brother. You have left behind a wonderful family and a son who has been a rock for myself and my family. I don't know what we'd do without him. We all love you and miss you dearly. Rest in peace my friend.

To the family of Greg Salyer, I am a PBHS classmate of Greg's and was very sorry to hear of your family's loss as well as the one to our class. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Cheryl Kehl Monday April 5, 2010 at 12:45 AM

After reading the above I can understand how very much Greg will be missed by his entire community, not only his family. He was taken much too soon, though relieved of the burden of hia illness. I will think of Cheryl on Tuesday and know she and her family are well supported by countless loving friends. From an old high school friend.

Andrew & Traci Fusaiotti Monday April 5, 2010 at 12:07 AM

We cannot believe he is gone. Our prayers are with The Salyer Family at such a difficult time.
