For those of you who did not know my grandfather, or grandmother, they were both amazing people. My grandfather was a man of respect and honor. He raised his children to be the same and he was proud of them and all of his grandchildren and loved them deeply. I am proud to be a part of our family. Thank you for all the love you have given us - we are so fortunate to be together and have each other. I will always love my family, especially my vovo and vovo. I miss them both always.
