Grandpa Jim words can't describe the pain everyone is feeling from losing you. You're the only person who can call me by my first name with out me hating it, you just always make it sound so happy and nice. I'll never forget the the first time you met Karliah, or the week I spent with you and grandma that summer, or all the Christmases and grill outs. All my memories of you are happy ones. My only comfort is believing you're with my dad now. I love you Grandpa.
