Grandpa Leo brought joy to our family and had the biggest heart. I was blessed to have him in so much of my life and that he got to know his great grandchildren as well as a great-great grandchild. He will still be watching over us in heaven.
Growing up you were always there showing me that you cared.
Spoiling me every chance that you had.
Each moment we spent together
Will be special to me forever.
My best memories are those at the time of year when we decorated for Christmas with care.
Christmas magic soared through the air while you taught me how to share.
The day your soul drifted high
My heart knew, and all I could do was cry.
A part of my heart left with you.
I have your hand on my shoulder telling me where to go.
I now realize that I never lost part of my soul.
I simply shared it with you to keep us whole.
You watched over me while you were here
And I know that you will watch over me from up there.
Grandpa, to me you meant the world.
