Grampy,
we will miss you a lot. Mark will miss teasing you about going out the bar, having a few beers, and meeting pretty girls. We know that you only fall for pretty girls!!! I'm greatful that my last memory of you was feeding you cake on your latest birthday. We will all keep watch over grandma for you. I'm sure you're doing the same.
Love and miss you,
Terri, Mark, and Austin

Dad,
Today I asked God to give you a hug for me. Hope you got it. I know you are no longer in pain, but I'm human and selfish and I wish I could see you again and give you a kiss on the forehead.

Love,

Sandy
