My Grandpa

Grandpa- there is so much I can say… so many memories I can recall… your love and spirit live on in my heart. I wish I could thank you one more time for all that you have done and the unconditional love you showed me. You helped put together many broken pieces of my heart just by always being there for me. Your humor is just one of the many things I miss about you. You and Nan gave me some of my fondest memories of camping, vacations, sleepovers at your house, and just waking me up for school saying “time to make the donuts!” We still talk about you and shed tears for your absence. How I wish you were here to see your great-grandchildren- oh how you would have loved them. You would brag about how smart Liam is, how funny Connor is, how beautiful and sassy Aria is and you would have loved seeing our beautiful Avery and handsome Thomas grow up so close in age. My faith tell me your watching over them and still bragging about them in Heaven. I miss and love you very much. You are always in our hearts.
