Grandpa,

I'll never forget the few times I was able to see you. I always looked forward to going to the Pocono mountains to see you and Grandma. I still have that crystal skull you bought for me when we visited the coal mines. I wish I could be there now for you, but I wasn't able to make it this time and I'm sorry. I know that you'll watch over me and keep me safe until I can see you again. I love you Grandpa, thank you for everything you've done for me.

Grandpa,

I still can't believe that you have gone home. I am still in shock and I find it really hard at times to not cry. I still remember those days when I would finally get a chance to see you and how you would tell me stories of how our family came to be, what they did for Philadelphia and the New York City, and how they came to the United States. Grandpa I will miss those talks the most because I found them so fascinating. Not many people know about their family history but I do because of you. Thank you for that. I'm going to miss you so much Grandpa. Please look after us and I will keep you and Grandma in my thoughts and prayers. I love you!

I wouldn't be the man I am today without all of your love and guidance. I will miss our Sunday morning talks.

With all my love your son Tommy.
