My Grandfather was a kind, sweet soul with the most generous heart - he would do anything for those he loved. He lived a moral, God-loving life that has inspired me in my own life. When I think of Grandpa, I think of sunshine - seeing him made even my darkest days better.
Some of my favorite times have been with Grandpa - like our camping trips in Tennessee! He made life so much fun & made the world a better place.
I'll never be able to put into words how much I love him - he was everything the best Grandpa ever could be & more!
