I called you up in heaven
I knew you were there to talk
You always seem to listen
No matter what was on my mind.

Whether it was about family, friends
or school, I knew I could ramble on.
You don't ever judge me
and I am grateful just for that.

However, this time when I called you
It was on a special day for you and me.
However, it was a day I had been dreading
Ever since you passed away.

Others say they know,
but I really do not think they...

Happy birthday grampa! I miss you and love you, and am thinking of you all the time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMPA!! I love you.

Happy Birthday Grandpa! I still love and and still miss you...more than ever! It is amazing how much you've affected my life. It seems like almost anything i do, makes me think of you! I love you!!!

Happy Birthday, Grampa! I miss Gramps so much, but I find comfort in shuffling around in his old slippers :)

Happy Birthday, Grampa! I've been thinking about you lots, and wearing your slippers to keep my feet warm. I love you.

My grampa was a wonderful man, and taught us all so much. I loved spending time with him, whether it be going hiking in the park, trips to the zoo, over to Uncle Harolds house to visit, or just spending time with him at his house. I loved when he would come cheer for me at my soccer games, and when he could not make it, telling him all about it. Just hearing about the things his grandchildren had accomplished would put a light in his eyes. I miss my grampa, and love him very much.

Uncle Gordy wasa warm and loving person. He always managed to come to family gatherings no matter how bad he had been feeling. Aunt Cathy would say, "I don't know if we'll make it or not." But they always came. He just seemed to beam at the gathering of his family. Not having close relatives when growing up, I felt so very blessed to have married into a family that was so "big" and loving. Having had years to get to know and love Uncle Gordy is a priceless gift that I will always...

Wow, it seems like everything I do lately reminds me of my grandpa! I miss him so much, but I know he's watching us all, and would be proud of his family. One of the last times the whole family was together, he said to all of us, to "keep the love in the family" and that is exactly what we have been doing and will continue to do! In light of the situation, all of this has made us an even tighter knit family, and I believe it is because of how he acted with us all and how we follow by example....
