Hey grandpa. I might not remember you and it may be years after you have passed but I see pictures of you and wonder if we would get along. Nana and mom tell me we would so I believe so. I found this while doing A legacy of my family and I thought that you should be my topic. The stories I hear about you are amazing and you sound great. Thanks for being a perfect candidate for my Legacy project. I couldn't think of anybody better to do this on.

I miss you grandpa and I love you.

It is a little over a year ago exactly that I last saw your beautiful face. You were so happy at McKenna's Birthday party, but so worried about me traveling to Spain. I remember all the questions you asked me, making sure that we were being safe. That was the kind of person you always were. You were always concerned with what was happening with grandma, your kids, and grandkids. I miss you as much today as I did a year ago, and will miss you forever. I love you so much grandpa, and not a day...

I love you and I miss you Grandpa.

Well Grandpa Easter has come and gone, I know that it was hard for everyone this year, because just last year you were here. we missed you so much.we always will. We love you.

Grandpa,
The other day I picked ashlynn up from her friends house, she had a little beaded bracelet her friend had given her, she told me that it was for you. I said okay, not really sure what to say. Then she turns to me and says "mommy when do you think grandpa will come back from heaven"? I wanted to cry but didnt because I didnt want to upset her. We all miss you so much, not one day goes by that I dont think of you. Easter is coming up and I know that it will be a hard time for...

Dad,
I wanted to share with you something that I think would make you so proud.
McKenna's school had a photo contest and it was titled "My Favorite Place.." he entered it with his pictures of everything about you. His project was "My favorite place is at home because it has things in it that remind me of my grandpa". We found out yesterday his pictures will now go on to the district to be judged. You would have been so proud of him dad, our little man misses you so, as we all do. I...

Dad, It will be 4 month tomorrow that you left us so suddenly. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you with either an ache in my heart or a smile on my face. I miss your phone messages with "Hi Mindy, this is your dad". I knew it was you dad....and I can still hear your voice. Mom's doing better everyday, but misses you very much. Dane is almost 8 months old and starting to crawl. We will keep your memory alive, so he will know what a wonderful person his great-grandfather was. ...

Well Grandpa maddi had her first birthday.She is walking and babbling. But somehow I think you already know all this. Sometimes I wonder if its you she sees when she looks up into the sky and gets the most beautiful smile on her face and giggles. It wouldnt suprise me if it was. You always knew how to make us laugh. We love and miss you
