To Sherry, Bret and Family, Jane and Libby, we send our deepest sympathy and prayers. Greg will surely be missed by all. Greg was one of the finest young man to ever walk this earth! He always shared one of the biggest smiles and laughs and just made you feel better whenever you saw his smile. He loved his Family and especially was so fond of babies and children,always as long as we have known him. Every Friday whenever our Son Wesley was a baby, he always wanted Libby to call and them come get Wesley to keep for the afternoon. It meant so, so much to know that when they came for him, I knew he was in loving, trusting arms. They were like Family to us. The whole Burkhart was.We will always love them for loving as if our children were family. Greg, may you rest in peace and again meet one day. We truly loved you, Roger & Karen Allred
