We love and miss you Grandpa. I am so glad you and Grandma were able to spend your anniversary together. You are in our hearts today and always.
You are father I have never had and I Love you with all my heart and soul.
Whenever I needed support you where there for me and the girls with love, wisdom
and caring.
The past several years you have shared your life with us and was always there to listen to my problems and only gave advise when you felt it was needed.
I will miss my co-car pilot as you were always there to be with me wherever I needed to go somewhere and didn’t want to go alone.
I Love You with all my heart and soul.
Your Loving Daughter forever.
