It doesn't feel like a whole year has gone by since you passed to the other side. The holidays are upon us and they are not the same without you. There is a big void in our lives. Family is not the same without a grand pa. Missing you still. love, joanne

At this time of sorrow please remember.

"It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

With Loving Memories"

Wishing you were still here, missing your laughter and jokes. I know God took you home with him so you can rest, relax be happy. Say hello to Donald for me, I know you'll be fishing soon. May you rest in peace for all eternity and sleep with the angels, for God loved you so he took you home. Your loving daughter, Joanne
