Not sure what to say?

It's been over a year now that you've been gone papa. I miss you everyday of my life. Now our sweet little Jesse your doggers will be joining you soon. Please take care of her for us. I love you so much. Jody

Deepest sympathy to all of his family. I know it is a tremendous loss to everyone. We all will miss him until we meet again.

In remembrance of the most wonderful Father-In-Law anyone could ask for. Thank you so much for letting me be part of your family. We have had so much fun over the past 30 years. I will love and will miss you always. Give Grandma a hug and kiss from me. Love you Grumpy.

I am so sorry for your loss, please know I am thinking of you.

I will always treasure the banter between Grandpa and I. I will always remember how proud he was of me when I was learning Arabic and went to Egypt and how he wanted me to ask my professor if he knew what "moshdoob" meant. I will miss seeing him every week but he will never be forgotten. I hope we made you proud Grandpa! I was certainly proud to be your granddaughter. Rest in peace...

Our prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Our sympathy and prayers are with you. He is no longer in pain and is with his beloved wife and others who have gone before him. United again with his Heavenly Father.

So sorry for your loss. your all in my thoughts and prayers.

My dad was the best. I will miss him everyday of my life. I will so miss our Christmas Eves together and the ways that he would crinkle his eyes. He taught us about family. He is together again with Mama. Rest in peace papa, until we meet again, I love you. Jody
