PaPa, I remember all the times that you made me breakfast before I would go to school. I also remember all the times grandma said I couldn't spend the night but then I would come to you and you would say I could. I will always love you and I'm going to miss you!!!
Love, Jessica

Daddy, you were the BEST daddy and grandpa anyone could ever ask for. You never let me down and you never knew how to say NO to your grandkids, ask anyone. I don't think it was in your vocabulary. I have too many memories of you to mention but they will stay with forever. Even though you're not here anymore you will stay in my heart forever!!!!! Always remember I love you!!!!!
Love, your daughter Linda
