Dear Papa,
Im sorry I wasn't there when you needed me but you know Im taking care of grandma (your mother in law). It saddens me to hear of your death but I am at peace knowing that you aren't suffering anymore and that you are in Heaven with Our Lord and Savior, your wife Bearnice, your daughter Wanda, your siblings and your father in law Arthur "Sweetcakes" Hall. You will be missed but not forgotten. You will always be in my heart. It also saddens me that I won't be able to come home and attend your home going service. I need to stay here close to grandma. You will always be in my heart.
Love your granddaughter
