My handsome sweet and loving grandpa, I will forever cherish every memory we shared in my heart. I will always love and miss you so very much. I promise to always take care of your great granddaughters (I always knew how proud u were to have them in your life). I will always tell them lots of stories about you and I will never let them forget how much of an amazing caring genuine man you were... I will forever love you grandpa and yes this has been so hard to go through but I am not mad that you were called home... I didn't want you in any pain or stress... what's hurting me the most is not having MY grandpa any more to give me hugs and always kiss my cheek and say "I love you my baby". We all love you so much and your memory will forever live on through us, YOUR FAMILY. Goodnight grandpa David rest peacefully and sleep with the angels and also tell grandma and grandpa we say hello ♡♡♡♡♡♡
