My Pop. One of the most amazing, loving, funny, and bravest person I knew. I’ll always remember the times spent with you when I was a little girl and as I grew, and I’m lucky to have gotten all of these years with you. Not a day will goes by where I don’t think of you. It never gets any easier. You touched so many lives and did so much for the family and community. I’m forever grateful for the memories I have, stories to share, and pictures to hold onto. I’ll be sure to tell my future children all about you, as you were one important person. I’ll miss our weekly dinners and getting to see you all of the time.
