Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with your family in this sad hour .
Grandpa, you know I was your biggest fan, that I would do anything at all that you asked of me.. God I miss you soo much that I dont know where to begin. Just promise you will watch over me because you will always be here with me… I love you so much and Joe loved you too and just remember it was never his middle finger he broke=) I love you grandpa….
We all know he is in a better place and out of any pain he was in. He’s now starting a new life and all his loved ones will join him one day. I know I didn’t know him well but he was always sweet. Maybe a little flirty but I could handle that. lol
I understood his life more through his granddaughter Kristin. She always had a funny story to tell about Grandpa. Sometimes she would walk in my house with a smile, look at me and say, My grandpa is just crazy. She had the most precious look of love.
Blessings to all of you and my condolences for your loss.
Our deepest sympathy to your family. I can rember comming in the house and grandpa sitting on the couch watching T.V. Ge would always ask me how I was doing. Kristen and j would sit and talk to him and he would want to know all the crazy things we had done the night before. When we would tell him he would just shake hid head and laugh. He was a great man and will be missed very much.
Wishing we could be there to share story’s and laugh about the good times, but since we are not, we send our love and prayers to help those he has left behind. May the lord be with you guys and may you be comforted by the thought that your loved one is with the lord now.
