A letter to my Grandpa

It’s been an unimaginable many years since you left and not a day goes by that we don’t miss you or feel your love and presence in our hearts and minds. You taught us strength and love, through your presence in our lives but especially how you treated those around you. You never met a stranger… or missed a date with your coffee. Everytime I see someone in a hat or ask mom if she wants some coffee I always smile alittle brighter. Hopefully others will learn about your legacy and all your little quirks here. I love you with all my heart, Hannah
