heres a poem dedicated all to you grandpa, made bye Jake price and megan konda
Even though you passed away,
I love you till' this very day,
i think about day and night,
before you died you had a fight,
i love with all my might,
when you died i didnt feel all right,
i wish i could've said goodbye,
when you really were alive,
you lived through world war II,
and all the facts are true,
you are the best grandpa i could ever had,
and you were always a fine old lad,
you've been with me all my life,
now i dont think ill ever feel alright,
the death of you was really sad,
but through all of your 86 years i know you never anything bad,
i would love to read this again and again,
and of course ill love you till the very end.

Grampa-
I cannot even express how much I already miss you. Cameron keeps asking how you are, and it kills me to tell him. I hope you are looking down at us and laughing thinking we are getting worked up for nothing...Love you so much, now rest with Mom and Dad

Donald, You always made me laugh. It always amazed me, how you could remember all those jokes, not to mention your own quick sense of humor. Stephen, Jake and I will surely miss you and your smile, but we are gratefull for the many years that you have given to the entire Price family. We find peace in knowing that the physical restrictions of you past few years are no more. We find joy in knowing that you are now floating footloose and fancy free with all your loved ones that have already passed, and comfort in knowing you are still here in all of our hearts. Thanks for making it possable for me to be part of your family. Love Darlene

Dearest Grampa-
I will always remember you for your outspoken personality, and hilarious sense of humor. You always made us laugh with your wise crack jokes and bar room humor. I know who I take after! You have left such a legacy...and we all miss you dearly. You were always such a gentle loving man to me and your other grandchildren. I could always tell how happy you were to see the girl's and I when we came to visit. I had to tell my girls that you were in heaven and they were very concerned. I explained that they will see you again and that you are happy. We will all see you again...say hello to John and Ann. I love you grampa! -Emily
