One of the reasons I will always smile when I think of you

Pop-Pop things just won't be the same without you. I know it's been a few months now since you've left and I know we hadn't talked in a while but I am still deeply saddened, especially since you won't be here to watch me get married or meet your great grandchildren (when that time comes). It broke my heart when Mom-Mom told me how much you were looking forward to coming down for the wedding, but I know you will be there in spirit. I have so many memories and not enough space to put them down. You have impacted me and I am so grateful for everything you and Mom-Mom did for us growing up. Please continue to watch over all of us. Your always in my heart and on my mind. And I know you are there when I am in need. When I think of you I can't help but smile. I love you and miss you more then words could ever explain. This Little Bird will always love her Big Bird!!

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was a great guy and always fun to be around. I remember many a night hanging at the house and the fun talks we used to have. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
