Grandpa,
We will miss you so much! You were such a positive influence in our lives & left a lasting footprint! Your smile was contagious, your heart was giving. I know you’ve missed Grandma & will love being back with her. 🙂 We are so blessed to have spent the time we did with both of you. Until we see you again…
