Grandpa,

I'm really going to miss you alot, but I know that you will be at a better place with God--so we should celebrate your New Life. When I went to Ohio to visit you two years ago, and I haven't seen you for several years before then, you've really touched my heart that you still remembered your "China Girl". As always, I love you and you'll always be in my heart. Marvie
