I love(d) my Grandpa very much. He was one of my best friends. We took care of each other. I miss him terribly. At least I know that he's no longer in pain. He was the best grandfather a girl could ask for. I miss you, Grandpa.

Pa always had a soft spot in my heart. He and I could sit and talk about gardening. He taught me how to take care of my geraniums.
He would sit and let Ashley read to him. Our grandchildren will miss him. I will miss him.

When the Lord calls a loved one home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Memories are the legacy of love and may those memories help you through this very sorrowful time. My sympathy to all his family.
