I am very sorry for your loss. I did not know Greyson, but I work for Weston here in PA and I am always saddened by the loss of fellow coworkers. Slowly you will heal...

Lauren,
Althought I have never met Greyson I want to express my condolenses to you and your family. The best gift you have given him was to be with him by his side. May you be comforted by the special times you both have shared.
You are in my daily prayers.

I just heard about Grayson's passing. I count myself lucky because I new Grayson at two different times in our lives.

Grayson was one of my best friends in high school. We attended a small school and spent almost every day of three school years together rock climbing, playing lacrosse, and generally being wild teenagers. Grayson shifted my universe and opened up whole new worlds for me. I still hear him singing in his funny falsetto, "Roxanne..."

A decade later I reunited with him when we both lived in Denver. Once again Grayson was out ahead of me and I feel lucky to have been able to slip in behind him and draft with him for a while. We enjoyed the Bull and Bush, a few rides, and a bucket-full of laughs. I will miss his unique phone calls and his amazing humor.

"Grayson-
To many climbs and wonderful times. I'm going to miss you Rock Jock! Enjoy yourself. I sure have! I'll see you on the 2nd pitch somewhere. Climb high and go easy on the women!" [my note to Grayson in our graduation yearbook-1990]

Love,
Dave

Grayson...May your new mission with God begin! You came to me as a "client" and became my "friend." Because of your continued encouragement in my struggle to lose 123 pounds...I am a better person because of you. NO MATTER WHAT, you Gifted me with your incredible knowledge and love for cycling. You "coached" me on my cycling...especially when FEAR was a big factor for me. Grayson, 3 years ago, I was too large to ride a bike, Sunday, June 3rd...not knowing you were already my "Angel" I spoke of you ALL day to my friends as I completed my 1st Century...100 miles in your HONOR! I believe the rest of my rides will be peaceful and safe with you there to "watch over me."

Lauren...How happy I was to hear your voice on the phone the other day...How deeply Sad to hear about your heartbreaking news. I could NEVER of imagined it! The short time we have spent together and "chatted" is great. I told Grayson many times what a wonderful Blessing you are for eachother. If I can share 2 thoughts from my heart to yours...
Always laugh, always hope, always love, always pray.

The task ahead of you is never greater than the power behind you.

I am truly honored and deeply saddened.

Life is Good!(my signature as long as I've known Grayson & and many others)

I only knew Grayson via bike racing Tuesday and Thursday night (Meridian), and I was always jealous when we both got into a breakway and then he was always the stronger rider. You will be in my prayers. A sad day, but i'm sure he will continue to encourage and inspire many going forward -- enriching lives from above.
