Out of everything I wish you didnt have to miss would be meeting your 3 other grandkids... I know you would have been so happy to see them and watch them grow. They carry the Rausa name strongly! Most important Lisa has been the best for me and the kids and I am so happy we have memories with you and her we still think of you and when we pray we bang on the table like you taught us! Missing you every day of every year you've been gone.

Your grandson,
Christopher

Grandpa, of the memories I have are so so my of you and I. I know how much you loved me and always wanted to be around! One of the fondest I have is fishing with you, seeing your love for the sport and patience it took made me the man I am today. Dad always tells me how much I'm a dreamer like you... I'm super proud of that. I wish you could see us all now. I love you, your grandson, Christopher
