After reading all these beautiful words about Snookie my heart feels so heavy and happy at the same time, when he left Texas and moved to New Orleans I was devastated we were the same age and we had so much fun on Magnolia Street, all though the house is no longer there the memories will last forever. I Love you Cousin
RIP
To my Cousin Joe thank you so much for taking care of him and giving him so much joy. God is so pleased and your life is and will always be blessed

I met Mr. Gregory in July 2021. Immediately after meeting him at JOB1 we instantly became family. I had the pleasure of meeting his brother Joe and nephew Tremell. Mr. Gregory had a heart of love for his family and his friends. I thank God I was able to hug him recently and tell him I love him. Throughout his journey, he never lost faith. To the family- you all are deeply in my prayers. "What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us." ~ Helen Keller

I´m really gonna miss you Snookie. I know we spent a lot of years apart but we shared some great childhood and Georgia memories. I truly enjoyed our days of catching up even though it was during your last days. We laughed joked and cut up. I will hold our special times close to my heart. I will be sure to check on Joe for you. Until we meet again Brotha
Love always Bern
