Dear Gramps,
I will miss you very much. I wish we had more time(7 months is not enough. I know how much you loved me and what a great Grandpa you would have been and were. Now that you are in Heaven-you can see me anytime and I know you will be watching over me.I will be sure to send you a smile. XXXOOO Love Maddie

I WONDERED HOW GOD COULD BE SO CRUEL AS TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM US....BUT I WAS WRONG...GOD IS TRULY KIND...ALTHOUGH I WISH HE HAD GIVEN YOU MORE TIME....HE SPARED YOU ANY SUFFERING AND ANY PAIN...AND MADE SURE YOU WILL FOREVER "WALK IN SUNSHINE, NEVER IN RAIN"...NEXT TIME THAT I PRAY, I WILL MAKE SURE I THANK HIM FOR EVERY DAY...AS YOU TRAVELED UP THE "GOLDEN LANE TO MEET THE MAN WITH THE THIN HAIR"... I KNOW HE MET YOU THERE AND ONCE AGAIN HE TOOK YOUR HAND..AND LED YOU TO THE PROMSIED...

The winds whisper to me
The stories of you life
In them I can see
Your hardships, you strife
Although you had a few
You never let them bother you
You had fun each day
Always a kind word to say
A laugh to give
Each day you lived
You always stayed true.

So you Truck Driver from Russia, Whimpy Weasel from Wisconsin, Lavender Larry, Or Just Boeweazel, or whatever character or story you may be telling right now in heaven, Keep on Trucking NO.777

Ps....

Mr. Davenport,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during the Cold War aboard the aircraft carrier USS Essex(CVS-9). And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
