Bill, We haven' seen you and Greta for many years but we still have fond memories of you both when we were all young and living in Walnut Ridge during the 1960's. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

Bill, I know you and your family will miss Greta greatly. She always had a beautiful smile and was always friendly. When Jesus ascended to Heaven, He said that He would send one to comfort us. May the Holy Spirit of God comfort you all and give you peace, in Jesus name.

She was truly an angel on this earth and now in Heaven. She was so precious and will be missed. She always treated our family with love and kindness. She especially showed her kindness to Kaleb as she watched him eat her Sunday lunches. I thank God for sharing her and her family with mine. All our love, the Jobes

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Greta when I joined Women Run Arkansas. We ran the 3 mile run in Conway, AR together. She was the sweetest and the most kind person. I would always get a hug when I would see her at Home Plate Diner eating lunch. To her family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Bill: I want you to know how very glad I am that I had the opportunity to know Greta over the past couple of years or so. She is an example of what most of us want to be "when we grow up". She was an extradordinary lady and will be greatly missed by all her friends, as well as her family.
