Grandpa, I'm thankful for the little time I got with you. I can't say thank you enough for being such a good Dad to my mom. My biggest hope is that you are with Grandma just like mom always wanted. You didn't always get a fair shake, but you made the best of it and smiled a lot. I can never be thankful enough for what you did for my mom. I love you!

You were the only real dad I have ever had! You meant so much to me and I will miss our long talks and you picking on me. I adored you and how much you loved me, my sisters, our kids, and how deeply you loved my momma. I can imagine that you and mom are dancing and laughing together again at last! I will cherish our memories forever and always. Love you always and forever, your youngest daughter, Cindy
