Grandpa, I thank YOU for everything...the unconditional love, patience, loyalty, life lessons and everything else. You were a GREAT man who loved everyone that crossed your path. I'm going to miss you, but I'm relieved that you are no longer suffering.
Until we meet again, please give Mommy, Granny, Auntie Lena and Tim a hug for me. So long...

Love Toni
