Remember, you will always have your memories of the good times you all had together with "grandpa". Even though I did not have the opportunity to know Willard very well, I liked him right away. Maybe because his personality was a lot like my mother's. Not only has Jeff been lucky enough to have you as friends but you had also opened your hearts to Peter and I. I can't ever begin to tell you how much you all mean to me. You are all so very special. Know that I care and I will always be there for you.
