I sure miss you Grandpa.

Dear Grandpa,
I miss you and I love you. I miss you giving me ice cream but I will always think of you when I eat ice cream. I will miss you always.

We will miss "Grandpa Mel" & his kind words & laughter. He will be always in our thoughts & prayers.

Dear Joan and family,
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints.
Phillipians 1:21 For to me , to live is Christ and to die is gain.
While we rejocie in knowing that Uncle Mel is with our Heavenly Father, we are still left with a great void in our earthly life. He was a gentle man and very devoted to God and his loved ones. What more can a man do?

I only pray that one day I will meet a guy that will love me the way that you love Grandma. Can't wait to see you again!! Love, Steph and Joe
