I don't have to tell you how much he loved you because, he showed you, his love with the time you two spent together and the special things you did together. continue to hold on to the precious memories of your grandfather knowing how much he loved you.
Rayana, When you were born you took Lisa's place you were his baby girl. He loved you soo much as you knew. You must also hold on to the special times you spent together with your grandad. RaRa- when you were (3) months old. I went by grandma and grandpa house Mack was holding you. I asked him if I could hold you, he said after she Purp. I waited for a half hour he was still holding onto to you. I said heisting. can I please hold her now, he looked at me and gave you to me. he gave me my (5) minutes and took you back. that's the kind of love unspeakable love your grandfather had for you and Rayan.
