Good morning grandpa. I miss you. I can't believe it's been this long you've been gone for. It's going to be a hot one today and I have no power so I'm using up the last of my battery to say I miss you and I love you.

Daddy, I love you. I know that the gates to heaven were opened wide for you and that you were welcomed with open arms by all our loved ones that have already returned home. I know you will watch over us and keep us safe. So until we meet again, I will try to follow in your foot steps, which will be a tall order for me, but I will work on it and make you proud of me. Your loving daughter, JM
