My other Father! My peace is knowing you are in the Lords house!
Hey Grandpa, I miss you so much. I will always remember the time we spent together over summer vacation and the stories that you told us. You deserve a good rest and the next time we meet Ill have a few of my own stories to tell.
I love you Grandpa.
Love you so much Grandpa. I'll always treasure the memories we shared together, whether it be learning cooking from you or having fun in the pool . I really miss you and am thankful I got to spend as much time with you as I did. You meant the world to everyone who was lucky enough to have met you.
So glad you are no longer in any pain. You were so much a part of all our lives and will be fondly missed. There should be no worries up there, your daughter (and wife) will be looked after.
I miss you so much Grandpa. You were the best grandfather we could have ever asked for. Thank you for all the delicious meals, tracker rides, and laughs. It's not the same without you. I can't wait to hear you call me Maggie Pie when we met again one day. I love you so much!
