Missing you! I know you loved the month of May in Indy. It's been 6years since Grandma passed. I hope you resting peacefully. I never knew how hard it would be to live life without you. Went to the lake & it was beautiful as always. I know you loved Wawasee as much as it brings me peace. Please continue to watch over Mom, me and Megan. Until we meet again! <3

Words can't come out, but I remember the good times. Our family (Mom, Megan, you and I) loved water. I wish I had a pic of the day we found $20 on the bottom of the Rivi slide after my first few times on the "Big Slide". IYKYK. Rest in peace! Don't have too much fun with everyone upstairs, you have a great crew with you. Until we meet again. Rest in heavenly peace <3!
