it has been nearly 1 month since my grandfather passed away...it is surreal to say the least....i find myself wanting to pick up the phone and call him or stop over the house to see how he is doing, and then it hits me... i miss him very much.
The hardest part of losing my grandfather was watching my dad loose his father and my grandmother loose her husband of 64 years...I have a great respect for pap as a man and a grandfather, I can't wait to see him again!

Dear Peg and Family,
Accept my sympathy at the death of your father and grandfather. He will be in my prayers and Mass. Sorry I could not make it to the funeral home when Sr. Anne came.

Dear Margaret and family of Frank,
I missed running into Frank & Margaret at Tambellinis on Fridays. It was nice to always see them looking happy and in love. We moved to North Carolina last April but we did get to see them right before we left. I had to thank Frank for all his prayers to St. Jude when I was diaganosed and fought Cancer. It worked. Thank-you Frank. Say Hi to St. Jude . Love & Prayers, Helen & Dute' Kramer
