Grampa,
Some of my best memories growing up were with you and Sue in New Hampshire. I remember us talking to the truckers on the CB on the way there and late nights playing cards with your friends. You taught me how to bluff when my hand was terrible! You always took everything in stride, you even laughed when I wrecked your snowmobile, even though I knew you were mad. I hope there is an endless supply of beer and peanuts for you in heaven!
"Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear."
Love,
Kerry
