Good by Dave. I am sorry I
couldn't tell you in person. I
will miss you and am sorry I could
not help to make you happier in
your last days. You were a good
man and a wonderful father. I do
not know of a greater legacy.



Love, Natalie

Grandpa, We love you and will miss
you. Thank you so much for all your
years of support and guidance. You
will always be remembered with love
and respect. It was you and Grandma
who got me through my childhood.
Without you, I wouldn't be who I am
today. I'm so happy that Audrey got
to meet her great-grandfather. Be
sure to tell Grandma about her for
me. I'll miss you.

With love and honor always,

Larry, Lisa and Audrey
