Grandpa.... There is not one memory I have of you that is bad. Every single one brings a smile to my face and great childhood memories. I can remember always getting so excited to you and grandma that I would get sick to my stomach, and then so so sad when you had to leave. Now you left for good and it breaks my heart. But you are going to be with grandma and that I know makes YOU happy. And that is all that matters is your peace and happiness. You will forever be missed, and forever be loved. There is no one like you. I love you Shelly (tina)
