I miss my grandfather so much even though it´s been years since his passing. He was the best grandfather in the world and I would truly do anything to get him back. I remember our little song we would sing on the swing and the very cup he would make me tea and chocolate milk in. I remember him sneaking tons of snacks in my backpack when I would go home to my parents to. I wish he was still here with us today so I could have my grandfather back and so he could meet my little brothers that I know he would love so dearly. He wasn´t just my grandfather though he was my best friend.
R.I.P I love you so much!

I also knew Ed through the benchrest matches I attended with him. He made friends easily and he often mentioned his family to us and it was plain to see the love he had for them. He was quick to lend a hand, to offer up encouragement, and to flash his smile. He is missed.
