Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. I never made it to your funeral and mostly that was cause I didn´t want to accept you were gone. I sure do miss you grandpa. I watch Yellowstone and can´t help but to think that was exactly like you! Haha. Love you papa. Sarah
