I never loved you more than I did this last year. You were always a beloved uncle to me. I always took comfort in your closeness to Mom and to me, having our own specialness. I cannot tell you how much I am going to miss you. I still see in my mind the young boy from the stories I was told, how you saw your daddy, my grandpa, coming up the road when you were but four years old after he was released from the German POW camp in WWII.. and you knew who it was and telling everyone that your daddy was coming up the road. I'm going to miss sitting with you at the table and sharing a sandwich and talking about the faithfulness and goodness of God and how that brought such a smile to you face. I Praise God for his miraculous answer to our life long prayers. I'll be seeing you soon, in our Father's house. Love you forever, Rande
