It goes without saying how much all of you have been in our hearts and on our minds. Please give Aunt Irene a gentle squeeze on her hand and let her know, she'll never be alone.

We have fond memories of Grandpa Ernie as a generous soul. He was always so excited to give us treats or "money for ice cream" that he would eagerly gift them weeks before the holiday or birthday. The shortest phone conversationalist and the quirkiest decorator, he truly was a character! Memories with Gramps and Gram at the farm, feasting on Christmas cookies and chatting on the front porch about life, will live on through us as his grandkids.
