Boompa, Thank you for being an amazing grandpa!! I miss you every day and wish that I could just pick up the phone to call and say hi. I miss hearing all of your life stories and the connections to places I have been. I will never forget everything you have done for me and our family. I want you to know the time when you and Nancy took me to lunch and the movies after my accident meant the world to me. You were so compassionate and loving. I love you and miss you!

Dad, I wish we had had more time to say goodbye, but it seems that time was not in our favor. Will never forget you and love you always. I'm glad that my kids and grandchildren got to say goodbye to you as well. It's good knowing that you are not in pain anymore and that all will be easier for you. Love you always, Barb
