DEAR FAMILY,

ALTHOUGH I REMEMBER VISITING GRANDPA ONLY ABOUT 4 TIMES OVER THE YEARS, I KNOW HE HAD A GREAT LOVE FOR THE LORD AND THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF HIS LIFE. I HOPE THAT WE CAN REJOICE WITH HIM EVEN THRU OUR SORROW. THANKS TO ALL YOU WHO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HIM. I KNOW THAT NORMA SENDS HER LOVE TO YOU ALSO. SHE HAS SPOKEN TO SOME OF YOU ON THE PHONE AND DOES NOT HAVE A WAY TO SIGN THIS BOOK SO I AM INCLUDING HER IN MY MESSAGE. GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU.

WITH LOVE AT THIS TIME OF SORROW
